Description from the seller
Discover the timeless elegance of our antique glazed terracotta toilet basin, handmade in France toward the end of the 19th century with artisanal mastery from the Porquier-Beau manufactory of Quimper.
Characterized by a charming floral decoration featuring yellow wheat stalks, poppies and green leaves on a white background, this unique piece is perfect for enriching your home with a touch of history.
Originally used for daily personal hygiene, particularly for washing hands and face before the advent of running water in homes, this basin was considered a luxury reserved for only a few families who could afford such an indulgence.
The monogram at the foot of the wheat stalks is the mark of the Porquier-Beau manufactory of Quimper, France.
The Porquier-Beau Manufactory of Quimper, renowned for its high quality and its distinctive monogram "P" and "B", founded at the end of the 19th century, reached its peak in the early 20th century, becoming a symbol of Breton artisanal craft.
Its pieces are known for botanical decorations and scenes of daily life, painted in a naturalistic and refined style. Each item tells a story of the Breton region, making the manufactory not only a reference point in craftsmanship but also a guardian of Breton culture and traditions.
Complete your vintage style with a distinctive, true majolica piece featuring a glossy glaze to create an authentic and fascinating atmosphere during your dinners with company.
Dimensions:
- Height 9.5 cm
- Diameter 46 cm
