Ewer with bowl. Glazed porcelain. Mortiz Zdekauer, Altrohlau, Czech Republic, late 19th century. With marks on the base. Set of a washbasin and a tray decorated with bands of floral plant elements in bright blue, red and gold tones. The centre of the washbasin features a hand-painted female figure, present in many of the factory's works, which may have been made by an artist called Asti. The tray shows two other tondos with female portraits, following the same style. The markings on the base identify the piece as being made in the Moritz Zdekauer factory in Altrohlau (now in the Czech Republic, but formerly part of the Habsburg Empire). It was in operation between 1884 and 1909, changing its brand to MZ Altrolau from this date, continuing its work until 1945, being nationalised after the Second World War, continuing under the name Starorolsky Porcelan Mortiz Zdekauer.
