Lot Description

Western Europe, likely England or France, Victorian Era, ca. 19th century CE. A lovely tin toleware bucket and watering can or pitcher, both hand-painted with Turkish women on the sides. Toleware is painted tin or iron with a black finish to prevent rusting, inspired by East Asian lacquerware. The pail has a matching lid and strap handles, likely an urn or bucket for kitchen use. The pitcher also has a removable lid and may have been for carrying hot water for a bath or to use as a watering can. The women are painted within gilded ovals in with headscarves and richly adored in gold jewelry. The bucket has the same lady on both sides, she faces forward with a white veil cascading over her head and shoulder. The pitcher has this same woman on one side and another woman in profile wearing a green robe and bejeweled. The Victorian era had a fascination with "exotic" women they found to be nostalgic and romanticized figures. The base of the pitcher is marked "J A & CO / 36." Size (pitcher): 14.25" W x 17" H (36.2 cm x 43.2 cm); (bucket): 13" Diameter x 12" H (33 cm x 30.5 cm)

Provenance: private Evergreen, Colorado, USA collection; ex-private Denver, Colorado, USA, collection, acquired 1960 to 2000
