AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A finely crafted French glass liqueur ewer made around 1877 by Parisian silversmith Ernest Henri Boivin.

The original blown-glass body features an elegant spiral pattern and is mounted in richly decorated silver with floral motifs, acanthus leaves and Rococo-style scrollwork. The ewer has a decorative silver foot, an ornate handle, a hinged lid and a gilded interior to the pouring spout.

The silver bears the French Minerva hallmark (800/1000) and the maker's mark EB with a corked bottle, attributed to Ernest Henri Boivin.

Originally intended for serving liqueurs as part of a dessert service, the ewer remains in very good antique condition.

Total weight: 475 g, including glass. Width: 19 cm. Glass body diameter: 11 cm.

From the Bednarek family collection, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and historical documentation.
