Description: A complete washstand set consisting of a large basin, a pitcher with a handle, and a rectangular lidded container, intended for toiletries. The ceramic items are decorated using a transfer print technique, described in keywords as blue-print, but color-wise it is a red print (red-print) on a white background. The motif consists of a rich floral pattern with detailed leaves and flowers, repeated around the entire circumference of the vessels and bordered by an ornamental band at the edges. On the bottom of the basin, a printed manufacturer's identification mark is visible: SOCIETE CERAMIQUE MAESTRICHT AURORE. This historical washstand set represents typical bathroom or bedroom equipment from the period. The inner part of the rectangular container shows a crack and discoloration. The bottom of the basin is discolored. The pitcher is without visible damage and shows only normal signs of use. The set is suitable as a collector's item of utilitarian ceramics or as a decorative element for an interior.
