A ewer is an antique water carafe

Ever since Antiquity ‘ewer’ has been the name for a water vessel with a spout and a handle. Today, carafe, pitcher, jug have taken over; ‘ewer’ is only used for an antique art item. A crystal ewer, as can be found in France, is a valuable antique. An antique crystal carafe is a lovely decoration item on the table or in the display cabinet.
