Before indoor plumbing became standard, this type of broc et bassine (pitcher-and-basin set) was a fixture on the washstand of every French bourgeois household, and a matching soap dish was the mark of a well-appointed chambre. The style and transfer technique point to late 19th-century English ironstone production, of the kind widely imported and used across France at that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dense floral transfer combines peonies, sunflowers, morning glories and trailing foliage framed by a crisp diamond-and-dot border band that runs along the rim of each piece. The pitcher has a confident rounded form with a wide pouring lip and a solid loop handle; the basin is deep and broad-shouldered; the soap dish is shallow and rectangular with gently raised edges. The three pieces read as a cohesive set and would sit equally well on a bathroom shelf, a hallway console or a vintage-styled vanity. Collectors of red transferware or French farmhouse ceramics will find the color and the botanical graphic particularly appealing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition and patina consistent with age. A small chip is present on the pitcher - visible in the photos - and the soap dish shows light surface crazing and minor age spotting in keeping with its years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoap dish: approx. 5.3 in wide x 3.5 in deep (13.5 x 9 cm). Pitcher: approx. 7.1 in wide x 5.5 in deep (18 x 14 cm). Basin: approx. 13.2 in wide x 3.9 in deep (33.5 x 10 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58966878650712,"sku":"FMF-XS6WKZM5","price":322.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/821a2b1c5b639c817593fcca9b048e79.jpg?v=1793256159","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/red-transferware-wash-set-ironstone-2910261","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
