A Charming Piece of Victorian History
Before the days of modern hair extensions and synthetic stuffings, a hair receiver was an absolute staple on every lady’s vanity table. As women brushed their hair each night, they would collect the strands from their brushes and feed them through the finger-wide hole in the lid. Once enough hair was gathered, it was recycled to stuff custom-matched hair pads (called "ratts") to create the voluminous, iconic Gibson Girl hairstyles of the era, or used to stuff pincushions and miniature pillows because human hair was exceptionally soft.
MZ Austria antique dishes are highly collectible porcelain pieces produced by the Moritz Zdekauer porcelain factory in Altrohlau, Austria (now Stará Role in the Czech Republic).
