Large old French toilet set composed of its basin and its pitcher from the Jules Vieillard Bordeaux (JVB) factory. The model is Rouen. Rare to find! Important pitcher and its basin in polychrome enameled earthenware, "Rouen" model, with decoration of lambrequins and plant scrolls, marks on the reverse in blue and hollow marks "BH". Work from the end of the 19th century.
In 1835, this factory was purchased by the Irishman David Johnston. He then produced pieces inspired by the highly competitive fine English Staffordshire earthenware. His company will employ up to 700 workers. In 1844, Jules Vieillard, an employee of David Johnston, bought the factory in financial difficulty. It was renamed Jules Vieillard & Cie in 1845. Production was industrialized and focused solely on fine earthenware. This quality earthenware will be rewarded during the Universal Exhibitions.
Dimension :
The jug: height: 33 cm / 13" length: 25 cm / 9.9" In good condition
The basin: diameter: 41.5 cm / 16.2" height: 14 cm / 5.5"
restored with ancient technique. You can see staples that have been placed at the bottom of the basin. This is a 19th century repair technique that we no longer know how to repair.
