Blue and White Spatterware Ceramic Pitcher and Basin Set

This item is a two-piece ceramic set consisting of a pitcher and a matching basin. The pitcher features a bulbous body, a gracefully curved handle with a scroll-like embellishment near the top attachment point, and a scalloped, flaring rim. The basin is round with a deeply curved interior and a wide, ruffled or scalloped edge that mirrors the pitcher's rim. Both pieces are made of ceramic material finished with a distinctive blue and off-white 'spatterware' or 'sponge ware' glaze. The blue appears to be a muted cornflower or dusty blue, randomly distributed over a creamy or off-white base, creating a mottled, speckled, or splotchy effect. The glaze has a slightly glossy finish. The overall aesthetic suggests a rustic or farmhouse style. There are no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant damage, though a closer inspection would be needed to confirm the absence of hairline fractures or crazing, common in older ceramic pieces. The craftsmanship appears to be sturdy, with the handle well-integrated into the pitcher's body. The weight and exact dimensions are not discernible from the image, but the set appears to be of a substantial size, likely intended for decorative use or as a traditional wash basin set. No specific maker's marks or signatures are visible. The style generally points to a vintage or antique period, possibly late 19th to mid-20th century, though without hallmarks, this is an estimation.
