Persian Qajar Tin-Clad Ewer with Engraved Medallions
late 19th to early 20th century
A tall, ceremonial ewer from the Qajar period, clad in tin over copper and adorned with deeply incised medallions—each featuring stylized faces and intricate borders. The slender neck rises to a flared mouth, while the hinged finial and curved spout are delicately balanced by an ornate handle. Once used to pour water or rosewater in courtly or ritual contexts, this sculptural piece now radiates presence as a standalone object. Its worn surface and soft gray patina evoke centuries of touch and time.
Measurements: Approx. 14.5 × 6.25” / 37x16 cm
Material: Tin-clad copper
Origin: Persia (modern-day Iran)
Condition: Wear consistent with age. Denting and loss to spout, patina throughout. Lid hinge is functional but worn. Note: The lid is slightly loose due to age, but remains secure when upright.
