A large gold air-brushed chamber or wash set from the turn of the 19th Century! It has 10 pieces in all: Wash basin 15.5 x 4.5 Large Pitcher 11 x 11 Medium Pitcher 7 x 7 Small Pitcher 3.5 x 4.5 Toothbrush Holder 5 x 4 Covered Soap Dish with Drainer 6 x 3 Chamber Pot with Lid 7 x 10 It is white semi-porcelain made in East Liverpool, Ohio by the Potter's Cooperative Co. who was in operation from 1862 until 1925. Semi-porcelain is fired at a lower heat than fine china, so chips more easily. It is remarkable that this set has existed for at least 100 years with only 2 chips which have been repaired. The repairs are visible on the inside right lip of the large pitcher and on the lid of the chamber pot.** There are no cracks and no unrepaired chips. The embossing is crisp and lovely and all edges are air-brushed with gold. The artist was a bit careless and the gold has spattered a bit on the pitcher. A wonderful display set. I had the 2 chips re-done. The one on the lid is all but invisible now, the other on the pitcher is quite white and blends in very well. The pictures are of the original repairs which were rather crude. More pictures available on request.
