The conch shell shaped bowl is very rare. I researched this item extensively and never saw this particular design! It is rare!


Once used in grand provincial homes for washing hands before indoor plumbing, this piece now stands as an exquisite decorative object celebrating French artistry and tradition. The soft green glaze bears a noble patina from age, while the graceful urn and matching basin create an unmistakable presence.


These were at one time › wall mounted washing centers of which there is a spigot. One turned the spigot an the above reservoir would dispense water allowing one to wash their hands...this was more of a thing in pre plumbing days.


My great aunt gifted this to me in the 1970s. It was purchased by her mother in the early 1900s.
