They would have been displayed on a  wealthy lady's dressing table and used for washing during the process of  dressing, hairdressing and applying make-up.  Food was often consumed during  this lengthy procedure, making hand washing even more necessary.   Ewers and  basins were also used in the garde-robe  which was used in the same way as a  plumbed-in bathroom today in the mid 1700s.  Royal garde-robes  or cabinets de  toilette  were comfortably furnished and often had painted wood panelling and  matching porcelain accessories.\r\n\r\nRosalind Savill, in her catalogue of Sèvres porcelain in The Wallace Collection, lists  the many different items the Sèvres factory made  for the toilette.  including foot- washing bowls, mouth-rinsing bowls, spitoons, bidets, barber's basins, chamber  pots, eye-baths, sponge and soap boxes as well as pots and brush handles for  make-up and different kinds of powder.","physicalDescription":"Basin of soft-paste porcelain.\r\nForm: oval\nGround: white\nDecoration: flowers in camaieu poupre\nRim hole","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Sèvres porcelain factory","id":"A406"},"association":{"text":"manufacturer","id":"x33306"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"soft paste porcelain","id":"AAT10665"}],"techniques":[{"text":"painted","id":"AAT54216"},{"text":"glazed","id":"AAT53914"},{"text":"gilt","id":"AAT53789"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Soft-paste porcelain, painted in enamels and gilt","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Porcelain","id":"THES48907"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2006AG6952","2006AF7644"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"007","id":"THES395811"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Basin","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"France","id":"x28849"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1758","earliest":"1758-01-01","latest":"1758-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"CIRC.126-1937","id":"O100203"},"association":"Set"}],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Depth","value":"222","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"01.08.12","earliest":"2012-08-01","latest":"2012-08-01"},"part":"maximum","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"276","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"01.08.12","earliest":"2012-08-01","latest":"2012-08-01"},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"Interlaced 'L's in blue enamel with date letter 'E'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":"A8728"},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Maker's mark"},{"content":"a crown in blue enamel, partially dotted, probably for J.-C.
