For your consideration... an antique Royal Doulton porcelain vessel that perfectly embodies the Edwardian genius for transforming the utilitarian into the sublime. This substantial piece, originally crafted as a waste bucket (complete with its fitted lid), now stands ready to serve modern life in countless elegant ways.
What makes this piece extraordinary is Royal Doulton's exquisite hand-painted rose garland decoration that transforms humble function into pure artistry. The soft palette of blush roses and delicate green foliage speaks to the Edwardian love affair with botanical motifs, while the quality of the porcelain itself showcases why Royal Doulton became synonymous with English excellence.
Standing an impressive 12.5" tall with a generous 14.25" diameter, this is no delicate ornament—it's a substantial, heavy piece built to last centuries. The original rattan handle adds authentic period charm and practical functionality, making it perfect for its new roles as an ice bucket for entertaining, an elegant wastebasket for powder rooms, or a striking jardiniere for your favorite plants.
The beauty lies not just in its versatility but in its honest history—a reminder that the Victorians and Edwardians knew how to make even the most mundane objects beautiful. Complete with its fitted lid, this piece represents functional artistry at its finest.
Condition: Very nice overall condition with minor loss to rattan handle . The porcelain remains pristine with vibrant decoration.
