Black printed mark; modeled with a Satyr and a Triton respectively.
14 in. high.
Note: These ewers are based on an original model by John Flaxman, Sr. father of the celebrated artist. The model, in plaster was supplied to Josiah Wedgwood in March 1775 and is still in the Wedgwood Museum, Barlaston. Illustrated in D. Bindman, ed., John Flaxman, 1979, p. 50, nos. 19 a and 19 b. Flaxman's model was based on Sigisbert Francois Michel's (1728-1811) original ewers. In 1774, Michel exhibited a pair of plaster ewers surmounted by a triton and satyr in the Académie de Saint-Luc, Paris.
