Of a masterpiece of the Renaissance Revival style and a delightful celebration of Dionysian decadence. A bacchanal scene adorns the patinated midsection of the gilt ewer, presenting a festive motif of frolicking putti in the throes of euphoric celebration. Amidst the humorous tableau, an inebriated putto disguised as Dionysius rides atop a leashed panther, while another romps through the scene atop a ram. H: 33 1/2 in. The shimmering gilt neck and spout of the ewer are lavishly ornamented with foliage and grape vine, while an eagle and exuberant put to surmount the gracefully curved handle. The handle terminates at the body of the ewer with an intricately detailed ram head, while the circular base is cast with a decorative wreath.
