Accessioned as English, but probably French. Probably derived from a model by Sigisbert-François Michel (1728-1811) exhibited in the Salon of the Académie de Saint-Luc in Paris in 1774. Designs for similar ewers were supplied to Josiah Wedgwood by John Flaxman senior in 1775 and were made in black basalt and jasperware in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
