Dutch Brass Barber’s Basin, circa 1800

This exquisite 18th-century Dutch Delft or Samadet faience barber's bowl showcases a classic lobed shape with a notched rim, traditionally designed for shaving use. The piece is hand-painted in vibrant green with a central floral motif surrounded by delicate foliate designs, accentuated by a decorative border along the scalloped edge. The tin-glazed ceramic surface exhibits the characteristic craquelure and slight imperfections typical of early Delftware. Originally used in barbershops for lathering and rinsing during shaves, this historical faience bowl is now a highly collectible decorative object, perfect for display in a Delftware collection or as a charming accent in a period interior. A remarkable example of Dutch craftsmanship, this piece captures the elegance and functionality of antique Delftware.
