About the Item

An Imari Porcelain Barber's Bowl/Basin, used for shaving, bleeding and much more. Late 17th or early 18th century, Painted with central flowers, hares and Birds. Size: 25.8x6.5cm diameterxheight similar pieces can be found here; metmuseum org/art/collection/search/49325 orientalceramics com/product/nanking-cargo-c-1750-japanese-imari-porcelain-2/ A barber in the 16th -19th century is not what we now call a barber but much more. Barbers in the modern period are known to do mainly one thing: cut hair. For much of the last hundred and fifty years, their red and white striped barber poles signified their ability to produce a good clean shave and a quick trim. This was not always the case, however. Up until the 19th century barbers were generally referred to as barber-surgeons, and they were called upon to perform a wide variety of tasks. They treated and extracted teeth, branded slaves, created ritual tattoos or scars, cut out gallstones and hangnails, set fractures, gave enemas, and lanced abscesses. Whereas physicians of their age examined urine or studied the stars to determine a patient’s diagnosis, barber-surgeons experienced their patients up close and personal. Many patients would go to their local barber for semi-annual bloodletting, much like you take your car in for a periodic oil change. Condition Restored with repainting also.
