Ewer and basin with the arms of Vlissingen Jug with an egg-shaped body, the ear with a lion and a ram's head, The foot of the round jug is made up of a slightly arched portion decorated with a pattern of godrons, a profiled straight edge, a flat, slightly overhanging edge decorated with a stamped, repeating pattern of fruits and leaves, and a diabolo shaped portion whose upper edge is also decorated with a stamped pattern of fruits and leaves. The slightly sunken upper edge of the egg-shaped body is adorned with a stamped, repeating pattern of godrons. The curved, rejuvenating neck interrupted by a double profile edge merges into the high, wide spout in the front. A protruding border is attached to this, which is adorned at the top with a stamped, repeating pattern of godrons. At the rear, the pouring spout merges into two curved edges that rotate against each other, the rear of which ends in a spiral. A cast ram's head is arranged against the rear of the body, into which the underside of the likewise cast, high-curved ear protrudes. This is made up of a smooth part that ends in a calyx with a widening part, which is adorned on the top with engraved scales and on the sides with embossed leaves. The ear ends in the upper body of a lion, which rests with its legs against the upper edge of the jug. The body of the jug is engraved with a pattern of scrollwork, which ends in monster heads that hold ribbons on which bunches of fruit hang. Flowers and foliage are integrated between the scrolls, flowers, ornament, lion's head, ram's head, Jacques Bogaert (attributed to), Amsterdam, 1608, silver (metal), h 30.8 cm × w 13.5 cm × d 11.5 cm × w 748 gr
