Standing Basin
Charles Toft|Worcester factory
ca. 1865 · Glazed earthenware with enamel decoration · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
An example of historical revivals at ceramics factories in Victorian Britain, this basin imitates a sixteenth-century group of ceramics known as Saint-Porchaire wares and is a nineteenth-century copy of a sixteenth-century model in the museum (17.190.1741). Ceramics factories in Britain sought to explore historical production techniques alongside more standardized forms of industrial production.
