About the Item

It is painted in blue on a light blue-coloured tin-glaze. In the centre, a flute-playing putto sitting on a fountain is painted in a cartouche. On the outside of the cartouche are floral and foliate branches. The flange is painted with a floral ornamental decor. Dimensions: length 26 cm / 10.23 in., width 28.7 cm / 11.29 in., height 7.5 cm / 2.95 in.

Besides biblical themes, landscapes, floral motifs, flower pots or ornamentation, shaving bowls were also painted with barber’s tools and inscriptions.
