Long Description
This pitcher has been in our family for years but I don't have too much info on it. Â I recently took it to a local antique shop to try and find out info but it was very minimal, what they did tell me was that it was made in England possibly in the late 1800s but more like the early 1900s. Â They also said the actual print on it was a process they did long ago almost similar to a tattoo that is placed on the pitcher and bowl and it gets baked on. That is about all I know beside the height of the pitcher is about 17 inches in height and the basin is about 26 inches in diameter.
Â
any info will be greatly appreciated.Â

Thank you

Re: N.H.P pitcher and basin made in England
Based on the country of origin markings this wash basin set dates from the first quarter of the 20th century. The marking "NHP" is that of New Hall Pottery Co. Ltd., who manufactured earthenwares at the New Hall Works, Hanley, in the heart of the Staffordshire Potteries, England, from 1899 until 1956.
Basin sets like this were all the rage in thew 1980's, but demand and values for them have declined a great deal since then, we often see sets like this go for less than $150.00.
