This magnificent large jug and bowl wash set was produced by the famous factory U & C Sarreguemines in the 1910s.
A French country bathroom set in red and white which would look stunning as decoration on a table in a bathroom or filled with flowers in a living room.
The porcelain is very thick, solid and very heavy.
We cannot find any other examples of this pattern, which is named 'Tripoli'.
The thickness of this piece leads me to wonder if this was infact made as a wash set for men.
There is a little crazing deals of the glaze due to age and we have found 1 small crack which is shown in photos 7 & 8.
Otherwise this piece is in good vintage condition and the crack does not seem to affect the sturdiness of the bowl.
Bowl:- 36cm or 14 2/8" in diameter
