{{Short description|Form of pitcher with a long spout}} [[File:MMA etruscan bronze 17.jpg|thumb|Etruscan Schnabelkanne]] A '''beak-spouted ewer''' ([[German language|German]]: ''Schnabelkanne'') is a [[ewer]], [[jug]], [[pitcher (container)|pitcher]] or [[flagon]] with a [[wikt:lip|spout]] formed in the shape of a [[beak]].
Beak-spouted ewers were initially made and used by the [[Etrurians]]. The [[Celts]] imported some of these vessels and started to copy them. They developed variants according to their liking. The containers were either made from [[bronze]] or from [[clay]].
Famous Celtic beak-spouted ewers have been found at the [[Glauberg]] in [[Hessia]], at [[Kleinaspergle]] in [[Baden-Württemberg]], and the [[Dürrnberg]] near [[Hallein]] in Austria. A modern variant was made by the Workshop of Christian Knütgen (active 1568–1605) in Siegburg (Germany), 1597 and is now kept at [[The Metropolitan Museum of Art]].<ref>[https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/194439 Ewer (Schnabelkanne), by Workshop of Christian Knütgen (active 1568–1605), Siegburg, 1597.] The Met.
