A choirmaster is playing the organ, a jeweller is examining a necklace and at his feet are a ewer and enamelled dishes by Bernard Palissy. |
A ceramic ewer of rectangular shape, with four feet and a sloping shoulder. |
The raised area in the centre suggests the tray would have been used to hold a ewer or chalice. |
The bacchanal theme is underlined by the presence of a large ewer placed above and behind the satyrs on a pillar. |
The ewer is distinguished for its fine workmanship, elegant form, harmonious proportions and its beautiful decoration. |
