An exotic pair of Anglo-Indian cast and engraved brass ewers, crafted in India during the 1960s, is a striking blend of traditional craftsmanship and colonial-era influences. Each ewer is adorned with intricately engraved details, featuring cast hinged lids, griffin spouts, and figural handles, adding a sense of grandeur and historical design.

The riveted black enameled circular body serves as a dramatic backdrop for a continuous surround of vintage British coins, including Ceylon 25 cents and Calcutta/Bombay mint coins, featuring the portrait of King George VI. These coins not only enhance the decorative appeal but also provide a unique historical element. The ewers rest on engraved brass circular bases, further emphasizing their artisanal quality and refined detailing.

Each ewer varies slightly in size, with one standing at 26 inches high and the other at 25 inches high, both measuring 20 inches wide and 7 inches deep. Whether displayed as a statement pair in a curated collection, as unique decorative accents in an eclectic interior, or as part of a global-inspired décor theme, these ewers are ready to place and enjoy.
