They were presumably included as moral exemplars to diners and intended to provoke ‘virtuous’ discussions. The rest of the ewer has less high-brow decoration relating, appropriately, both to water and food in the form of water-fowl and ripe fruit. Sixteenth-century French silver is mentioned frequently in contemporary inventories, but is now extremely rare. This ewer can be attributed to Paris because it bears the warden's mark of the Paris goldsmiths' guild, which incorporates a year letter for 1585-6. Its antique form with a high handle, and eclectic decoration completely covering the surface are typical of the Mannerist style in silver. The form of the ewer, apart from the handle, is comparable to a design attributed to Etienne Delaune (1518/19-1583) in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris. The sides are chased with oval frames enclosing allegorical figures of the three Pauline virtues, Faith, Hope and Charity, and one of the four cardinal virtus, Fortitude - an appropriate choice in a period of violent religious strife. It may have been used with a basin for hand washing at table, or have been been displayed on a tiered dressoir (buffet) with other ornate vessels. reference term-106402 adlib-term-106402 7466a5d6-293f-3bbc-9672-fa9dd41712be 16th Century, Late reference term-129470 adlib-term-129470 8353db27-fba9-33c1-94a1-f268fd2a2d21 literal France France country Paris reference term-39778 adlib-term-39778 8bd60ed6-968d-3faf-8ad5-b4e4ee9bb245 silver Height cm 29.5 reference term-88137 adlib-term-88137 eeab1777-4158-31f4-8f8a-0015cb1910f7 ewer history note Leonard Daneham Cunliffe (1860-1937) by whom bequeathed reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Publ. p. 32, no.
