Of helmet-form, on gadrooned spreading foot, the lower body applied with strapwork calyx, with gadrooned upper mid-band, applied with the head of Diana and a stylized shell beneath the lip, the handle formed as a scrolling female herm, the front engraved with a coat-of-arms within a foliate and scalework cartouche, marked near handle

A virtually identical example by Pierre Harache, dated 1703, is in the Portland Art Museum (no. 65.7)
The later-make arms are those of Smith, baronets, Hatherton, Cheshire (extinct 1706) or of Smith, baronets, of Upton in Westham, Essex (extinct 1852)

A similar ewer by Willaume, also 1700, is in the Victoria & Albert Museum and illustrated in J.F. Hayward, Huguenot Silver in England 1688-1727, 1959, plate 34b. The same handle appears on another silver-gilt ewer by Willaume, the property of the Duke of Abercorn, exhibited in The Treasure Houses of Britain and illustrated in the catalogue, pp.182-183, no. 113, and on another example by Willaume of 1702, sold Sotheby's, June 27, 1963, lot 52 (illustrated by Vanessa Brett, The Sotheby's Directory of Silver, 1984, p.161, fig. 632) and on several ewers of 1700 by Pierre Harache.
