Not on view

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.
