Silver ewer made by Samuel Kirk & Son, c. 1850. Repousséd (raised), chased, and cast coin silver. Tall, elegant, and richly ornamented gourd-shaped ewer stands on a circular foot and has a rounded spout with an applied C-scroll handle. It is decorated with typical Baltimore repoussé (raised) pattern of fanciful Italianate buildings and bridges in lush gardens with weeping willows, exotic plants and birds. The foot and other areas are decorated in floral repousse, hammered up from the inside of the vessel. Further engraving enhances the raised images with additional detail. Cast acanthus leaves and grape bunches adorn the graceful handle. The "Etruscan" pattern was a favorite of Kirk's and is also known by collectors as the "Landscape" or "Castle" pattern.
