This type of pitcher and bowl (see photo) was as common as chicken pox back in early times. Everybody had one or more. However, this pitcher and bowl are expensive ones imported from Europe. Mighty pretty. Makes you afraid to use 'em because you might drop one and what a mess that would be. They were fashionable but had a funtional use to. The pitcher held water to be poured into the bowl to was you hands, clean up messes that occured in the bedroom like baby.......well you know what that means. You can still find these babies in antique stores, museums, and historic sites.
