EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a magnificent Fatimid ewer, originating from Egypt between 975 and 1025. The ancient artifact has been exquisitely mounted by the skilled hands of Jean-Valentin Morel in Sevres, France in 1854. Crafted from rock crystal, adorned with gold and enamel accents, this piece is truly a sight to behold. Standing at a height of 30.7 cm, the delicate intricacy of the design is immediately apparent. The relief work on the surface depicts ornate patterns that reflect the artistic style prevalent during the 11th century Egyptian era. This North African Islamic vessel serves as both an objet de vertu and a functional water pitcher. The French influence is evident in its decoration, showcasing elements of medieval craftsmanship combined with intricate detailing reminiscent of traditional Egyptian artistry. The transparent quality of the vase allows for a glimpse into its inner beauty while enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. This rare find now resides within a private collection, preserved for generations to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance. Captured through eChristies Images by Bridgeman Images, this print immortalizes every decorative aspect of this remarkable Fatimid ewer. It serves as a testament to human creativity across different cultures and time periods – an embodiment of cultural exchange between Egypt and France during two distinct epochs.
