Victorian Style Wash basin set (5) - Porcelain - Ginori Doccia Manufactory

Rare Complete Toilet Set (5 pcs) - Doccia Manufactory (Ginori) - Porcelain - Italy - 1870–1890
Splendid and extremely rare toilet set (also known as a lampetstel set or washbasin and pitcher set) in fine white porcelain with minimalist cobalt-blue lines, entirely made by the prestigious Doccia Manufactory (Ginori) in Sesto Fiorentino in the second half of the 19th century (estimated period: circa 1870–1890).
The set is an important testament to the production of the Tuscan manufactory before its 1896 merger with Società Ceramica Richard (which gave rise to Richard-Ginori). The base bears the famous red-brick-colored dotted oval stamp “MANIF.RA GINORI a DOCCIA PRESSO FIRENZE,” as well as impressed marks made before firing (model numbers and the artisan’s initials), certifying its absolute period authenticity.
The lot consists of 5 matching pieces:
• Large washbasin: Generous diameter, with a clean, elegant design.
• Water pitcher: Slender shape with a perfectly formed spout and beautiful blue edging on the handle.
• Open bowl/cup: Historically used for shaving water or rinsing.
• Cylindrical tumbler: Matching toothbrush holder.
• Triple soap dish (Exceptional): Consisting of a base tray, a lid with a knob and, an extremely rare detail, its original perforated inner grille, intact—a piece almost always missing from sets of this period.
Excellent condition / Like new.
The set is in an extraordinary state of preservation, exceptional for its age. There are no hairline cracks, cracks, chips or restorations. The porcelain retains its original luster and whiteness; the blue lines are perfectly crisp and vivid. A museum-quality set in terms of completeness.
