A KETTLE-SHAPED BRASS EWER Deccan, Central India, 18th century Of globular shape solidly cast, with gadrooned body rising to a pinnacle like an onion dome, on a straight slighlty splayed foot, with centrally placed arched handle with opening in the middle and a straight spout, 29cm high.  The characteristic shape of this ewer seems to have first evolved in Iran in the late 16th century and then spread to India. It seems that this type of ewer was particularly appreciated and reproduced in the Deccani plateau. For further information, please refer to M. Zebrowski, Gold, Silver and Bronze from Mughal India, Alexandria Press, 1997, p. 153.
Estimated at £1,000 - £1,200
