Featured in this lot is this brass church ewer presented to St. Matthew's Bayswater Anglican Church in West London circa 1897.

The piece shows a polished brass construction showing a beautiful curved handle and a large spout. The top is stamped reading, "Presented to St. Matthew's Bayswater by A.L. July 1897". The piece shows good condition overall with wear present from its age and use over the years, but no signs of obvious damage is noted.
