Ewers are containers used for the transportation of different liquids, often displaying decorative shapes and colors. This ewer is one of many blue and white pieces of ceramic that were created during the 1500s across different regions, and as such it is part of a larger group of blue and white ceramic pieces that are found at the Worcester Art Museum. Ewers like this one were used for the transportation of various liquids, including water for drinking and wine for celebrations.
