About the Item
An extremely elegant Paris Porcelain wash basin and pitcher dating from the First Empire Period, around 1815, and featuring as its decoration the emblems of the Emperor Napoleon himself: an eagle, bees, laurel wreaths and the capital letter 'N'. The boat-shaped basin has a gilt rim and has a good depth to it, while the pitcher has a nicely curved tall handle and wide pouring spout, all embellished with gilt detailing. Originally a practical set, used for performing morning ablutions before the days of ensuite bathrooms and hot and cold running water, this does show some minimal signs of use, including a minor crack. A very handsome decorative addition, perfect, perhaps, for a gentleman's bathroom.

Rare to find !
Important pitcher and its basin in polychrome enamelled earthenware, model "Rouen", with decoration of lambrequins and vegetal scrolls, marks on the reverse in blue and marks in hollow «BH». Work of the end of the XIXth century.
In 1835, this factory was bought by the Irish David Johnston. He then produced pieces inspired by the very competitive fine English earthenware of Staffordshire. His company will employ up to 700 workers.
