Parian salt glaze ewer with molded relief biblical design marked on the bottom: “Naomi and Her Daughters-in-Law”, made in the mid-1800’s by Samuel Alcock in Staffordshire, England.
Ewer measures 9-1/2″ tall and has an intricately fashioned network of metal straps and wire.
The large metal replacement handle stands in for the long gone original ceramic handle.
