An exceptionally pretty three-piece hand decorated porcelain lavabo, consisting of a tall container with a separate lid meant to be hung on a wall, and a large standing container meant to stand on a table below to catch the water. The central container with the lid measures 27"H x 9-1/2"W x 8-1/2"D from the back to the pewter spigot. It has applied ornaments and faces on either side and behind the spigot. The lid terminates with a cupid-like figure at the top. The slightly ovoid lobbed bowl stands on four figural feet and has faces at the sides for handles. It measures 19"W x 11"D x 4-1/4"H. Overall the pieces are hand decorated in rose designs, light ochre on the figural elements, and has flourishes of multicolor flowers overall. The back of the container is marked in the underglaze by the decorator "VP" and "France".
