A fine pair of Napoleon III-style ewers, each resting on a circular silver base richly adorned with relief friezes of foliage and *rocaille* (rococo-style) motifs. Each ewer features an elegant, flared pedestal supporting a crystal body.

The bulbous body is crafted from cut crystal, engraved with delicate floral patterns—small blossoms and leafy scrolls—while the lower section is embellished with a radiant, faceted cut.

The shoulder transitions into a slender crystal neck, topped by an elaborate silver mount that is finely chased and openwork. This mount is richly decorated with leafy scrolls, floral motifs, and molded cartouches.

The side handle, designed with graceful curves and adorned with volutes and foliage, provides a refined grip. The spout, delicately flared and upturned, is fitted with a hinged silver lid topped by a decorative finial.
