Cream Ceramic Washbasin and Pitcher Set with Gold Trim

This is a ceramic washbasin and pitcher set, likely made of porcelain or fine earthenware, characterized by its creamy white or ivory glaze. The set features scalloped edges on both the pitcher's rim and footed basin, adorned with extensive gold trim, which appears to be applied as gilded accents. Both pieces exhibit ornate, raised relief-style decorative motifs, possibly floral or scrollwork designs, indicating a potentially Romantic, Victorian, or Rococo revival aesthetic. The pitcher, designed with a prominent spout for pouring, also has an elaborately curved handle. There are visible signs of wear and age, particularly with the gold trim showing significant rubbing and loss in various areas, suggesting frequent use or handling over time. The surface of both pieces appears to have some minor discoloration or staining consistent with age and use. The construction quality seems reasonable, evidenced by the detailed molding and applied decoration, although the extent of wear on the gilding suggests either an older piece or decorative rather than highly durable application of the gold. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible in the provided image; further inspection would be required for identification. The overall impression is that of a decorative and functional set, possibly from the late 19th or early 20th century, used for personal hygiene or as a decorative accent in a bedroom or bathroom.
