Basin and ewer

Andries Grill, 1649

This basin and ewer were made for the Delft councillor Gerard Meerman. They are engraved with two escutcheons, one for Meerman and the other for his wife. However, only his shield is filled in. The celebrated Hague silversmith Grill executed the objects in a personal interpretation of the so-called Auricular style, placing emphasis on abstract linear forms.
