Ceramic Ewer and Basin Set with Hand-Painted Fruit Motif

This is a two-piece ceramic set consisting of an ewer (pitcher) and a matching basin. Both pieces feature a lustrous white interior and a cream-to-light-brown gradient exterior, adorned with a hand-painted fruit motif. The ewer is squat and bulbous with a fluted rim and an ornate, scrolled handle finished in a metallic gold accent. The exterior painting displays a cluster of fruits, prominently featuring a bunch of purple grapes, a reddish-orange apple or similar round fruit, and possibly other brown-toned fruits or leaves. The basin is shallow with a scalloped edge and a similar fruit motif painted in its center, mirroring the ewer's design. The painting technique appears somewhat broad and expressive, characteristic of decorative ceramics rather than fine art pottery. Both pieces are likely earthenware or porcelain, judging by their smooth, glazed finish. The metallic gold accents on the ewer's handle and rim, and likely on the basin's rim, suggest a decorative or ornamental purpose. While no specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided images, the style suggests a mid-20th-century decorative ceramic, possibly from Europe or Asia, designed for aesthetic display rather than utilitarian use. There are no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant wear, but a closer inspection would be required to confirm the full condition and integrity of the glaze and paintwork. The craftsmanship appears to be of moderate quality, typical for mass-produced or semi-handcrafted decorative items.
