WHAT DOES EWER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

ewer

Pitcher (container)

In US English, a pitcher is a container with a spout used for storing and pouring contents which are liquid in form. Generally a pitcher also has a handle, which makes pouring easier. A ewer is a vase-shaped pitcher, often decorated, with a base and a flaring spout, though the word is now unusual in informal English describing ordinary domestic vessels. An example of an ewer is the America's Cup given to the winner of the America's Cup sailing regatta match. In English speaking countries outside North America, a jug is any container with a handle and a mouth and spout for liquid—American "pitchers" are more likely to be called jugs elsewhere.

Definition of ewer in the English dictionary

The definition of ewer in the dictionary is a large jug or pitcher with a wide mouth.
