Presented is a large water bowl or basin measuring 13 inches wide by 4 3/4 inches tall. It was once used for washing with a large water pitcher before the popularity of indoor plumbing. We are offering the matching pitcher in a separate offering.

The embossed design is Prairie Shape. It was made in the J. Clementson pottery who registered it in 1861. This is one of the many wheat patterns produced by the Staffordshire potters during the 1860 decade and targeted toward the American bread basket.

Condition is excellent. It is free of chips, cracks, hairlines, stains, and restorations.
