Vintage Ceramic Pitcher and Basin Wash Set

This is a two-piece decorative ceramic wash set consisting of a large water pitcher and a coordinating wash basin. Both pieces are finished in a creamy white or off-white glaze with a high-gloss sheen. The pitcher features a bulbous body with vertical raised ribbing or paneling that terminates in a stylized fleur-de-lis motif near the neck. It has a prominently scalloped rim, a graceful pouring spout, and an arched 'C' shaped handle attached to the side. The matching basin echoes the design with a flared, scalloped rim and similar vertical ribbing on the exterior. The construction suggests late 20th-century mass-production intended for Victorian-style home decor rather than period-accurate utilitarian use. The ceramic material appears heavy and opaque, typical of ironstone or stoneware replicas. While no maker's mark is visible from the front view, the style is reminiscent of pieces produced by companies like Red Cliff or various mid-to-late century American and European potteries. The condition shows minor crazing consistent with age, but no significant chips or cracks are immediately visible. Some surface dust and minor debris are present inside the basin, indicating it has been used as a display catch-all.
