   I dreamt of a silver bason and ewer to-night. William Shakespeare, Timon.

   Let one attend him with a silver bason
   Full of rosewater, and bestrew’d with flowers;
   Another bear the ewer; a third a diaper;
   And say, wil’t please your lordship cool your hands? William Shakespeare.

   The golden ewer a maid obsequious brings,
   Replenish’d from the cool, translucent springs;
   With copious water the bright vase supplies
   A silver laver, of capacious size:
   They wash. Alexander Pope, Odyssey, b. i. l. 179.

1. ewer

   In American English, a pitcher is a container with a spout used for storing and pouring liquids. In English-speaking countries outside North America, a jug is any container with a handle and a mouth and spout for liquid – American "pitchers" will be called jugs elsewhere. Generally a pitcher also has a handle, which makes pouring easier. Ewer is an older word for a pitcher or jug of any type, though tending to be used for a vase-shaped pitcher, often decorated, with a base and a flaring spout. The word is now unusual in informal English describing ordinary domestic vessels. A notable ewer is the America's Cup, which is awarded to the winning team of the America's Cup sailing regatta match. In modern British English, the only use of "pitcher" is when beer is sold by the pitcher in bars and restaurants, following the American style.
