Curated by ACT

In this video [2:51] Met curator Ellenor Alcorn on the creative moment in Ewer, a work of Chinese porcelain with English mounts, 1573-1620; mounts c. 1585. The ewer shown here is one of a group of Chinese porcelains of the Wan Li period [1575-1619) with silver-gilt mounts made by an unidentified English silversmith about 1585. They were all acquired by the Museum from the estate of J.P. Morgan.
