This ornately embossed or relief molded Art Nouveau Wash Bowl was manufactured by F. Winkle Company in the Town of Stoke, Staffordshire, England approximately 1900.
Originally this bowl was part of a lavatory set and was accompanied by a large wash jug/pitcher. Unfortunately over the years these sets got separated from their former set amount of pieces which usually consisted of about 8-10 pieces to compose a complete lavatory set.

Today many collectors use these wonderful objects of the past as collector/decorator items to accessorize country charm at the cottage. These objects work like a good marriage with Primitives. The combination of Victorian Transferware with Primitive creates a charming ambiance & warmth that looks and feels like one is living in a bygone era.
Many if not most of these ornate lavatory pieces were produced during the Victorian Era to accommodate the bedroom of the more affluent household when of course there was no running water and flushing toilets. A Ewer Set (Jug & Basin) always graced the Wash Stand in every bedroom such that the persons awakening or retiring could wash themselves after having used the other accessory pieces. The more ornately molded and high quality transfer pieces always were found in the more affluent household whereas the heavy plain white ironstone was to be found more so in the countryside household.
CONDITION: This Fabulous Decorative Wash Bowl is in excellent condition!
