Antique Victorian Wavecrest Style Ewer | Floral Glass Mantel Decor
$89.99
This antique Victorian ewer has the kind of over-the-top decorative charm that makes a mantel instantly more interesting.
It features a hand-painted glass body with delicate floral details, a creamy opaline look, and ornate gilt-tone metal mounts with an especially dramatic handle and spout.
It reads beautifully as a late 19th-century decorative piece and works best as display decor rather than a practical pouring vessel.
