# Ewer

Porcelain ewer in the form of a female musician with underglaze blue decoration. Modelled as a woman playing a four-stringed lute or 'pipa', this ewer may be filled with liquid via an opening between the outer and inner robe at the musician's neck and emptied through the raised left sleeve, which forms a spout.

- **Kind:** artefact
- **Date:** 1600–1620 CE
