Weekly Favorites: Antique French Enamelware Body Pitchers

French Enamelware comes in many shapes, colors and sizes.

Pitchers like this were used for bathing before indoor plumbing was invented. A bowl and pitcher, like these, were a mainstay in each bedroom in a fine to middle class home, often on a special "wash stand" with a mirror.

In more modest households, there was usually only one set in the kitchen or wash room. Useful as well as beautiful, it's most often the pitchers that collectors seek out. These make wonderful display pieces, watering cans for your plants, or the perfect vase to display a abundance of Roses! 1. Flow Blue 2.French Country Blue 3. White 4. Aqua Blue rose
