EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this exquisite 1880s English Stoneware Toilet Services set, as depicted in Plate 49 from Mary Evans Prints Online. This image showcases an elegant assortment of toiletries, each piece adorned with intricate patterns that reflect the Victorian era's penchant for ornate design. The set includes several washing bowls, their pristine white surfaces contrasting beautifully with the rich, earthy tones of the brown and cream stoneware. The bowls are adorned with delicate floral motifs, their petals and leaves meticulously rendered in pink and blue hues. The geometric shapes and patterns add a sense of order and symmetry, reflecting the Victorian obsession with orderliness and cleanliness. Two jugs, their handles gracefully curved, are also featured in the set. The jugs' handles, with their subtle pink and blue accents, add a feminine touch to the otherwise utilitarian objects. The soap dishes, with their simple yet elegant designs, complete the set, providing a practical solution for keeping soap within reach during the washing ritual. Shaving equipment, such as razors and shaving mugs, were also often included in toilet services sets during this time. However, they are not visible in this particular image. Nonetheless, this set provides a glimpse into the luxurious and ornate toiletries that were popular during the Victorian era, a time when personal hygiene and aesthetic beauty were highly valued.
