Traditonally used for Madame's toilette, a pitcher of warm water brought to her dressing room by the maid. 
 
Nowadays, the perfect ironstone vase for flowers or as a 'cache pot' for Spring bulbs. Its creamy ironstone, elegant French blue decoration and its flowing lines make this a perfect piece to sit with many styles of decor. Its shape also makes it very stable!
 
There is one small chip on one side the lip, please see the photograph.
 
The ewer is 5.5" tall at the lip and 8" long from handle to lip.
