Specialist note

The present ewers are based on a Wedgwood original that is usually paired with a 'Sacred to Bacchus' wine jug, after models by John Flaxman of 1775. The original designs were thought to be taken from Clodion but the source could be earlier, perhaps stemming from Renaissance bronzes.
