Cornwallis and Washington?
« on: June 24, 2004, 10:29:45 am »
A few years ago a friend gave me a wash bowl with a pitcher.  I cannot find any dates on  either piece.  However, my friend did purchase some antiques at shows, and others from markets.  This pitcher and bowl do match, I think.  The bowl is cream in color with gold painting around the edges and has four circular pictures in the bowl.  They are: "Surrender of Cornwallis, and under it is written John Trumbull".  The pitcher is about 12 inches tall with the same gold-tone trim with waved indented features around the neck of the pitcher.  The picture on the front:  "Washington Crossing the Delaware, and under it Emmanuel Leuhe or Leuke". (not sure of that?)
 
Can you offer me any information?  Value of this? I have tried to look this up on line, however am not sure where to search.  Thanks for your help.

These are transfers, of famous paintings.  You didn't mention any makers marks on either the bottom of the pitcher or bowl.  The wash bowl set could be a commemorative, made in USA.  

Intriguing.  Have you googled for vintage wash bowl sets?  or antique pitcher and bowl?  KB      :blink:
