French Empire Period Paris Porcelain Basin and Pitcher with Napoleonic Emblems
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.
