Antique
An antique ironstone water ewer found in Belgium, likely originating from Staffordshire, England, and dating to the late 19th century. A celebrated example of Victorian washstand pottery, it is defined by its substantial "giant jar" silhouette and luminous ivory glaze. The body is intricately decorated with the "STANLEY" pattern, featuring lush flow blue botanical clusters and scrolling flourishes. A recessed English Registration Diamond on the base serves as a definitive hallmark of its 1880s heritage.

At Maison Amaranth, we love this large ewer displayed on a kitchen counter or open shelving. Originally the centerpiece of a grand bedroom washstand, it is striking filled with a generous "bouquet" of seasonal dried flowers or left empty as a sculptural standalone piece. Its impressive height and presence make it perfect for grounding a vignette or softening a row of darker ceramics.
