History

This decorative water pitcher dates from the late 19th to early 20th century, likely between 1880-1910. It features a classic scalloped rim and elegant handle with red transfer-printed floral decoration on white porcelain or semi-porcelain, typical of Victorian-era washstand sets. These pitchers were functional household items used for washing before indoor plumbing became widespread. Collectors of Victorian ceramics and antique washstand sets particularly value these pitchers for their decorative appeal and historical significance. They represent a tangible connection to daily life in the Victorian era and are sought after by collectors of transferware and bathroom antiques.
