Antique Brown Westhead Moore BWM & C earthenware toilet set, Woodpecker model.

Form No. 5967.

Drawing no. 5968.

This model was manufactured by the English earthenware manufacturer Brown Westhead Moore (BWM & C.) and then distributed in France by the Grand Dépôt Émile Bourgeois located at 21 rue Drouot in Paris and 33 rue St Féréol in Marseille.

The Grand Dépôt Émile Bourgeois was the first importer of English earthenware in France.

The Brown Westhead Moore factory was in operation from 1862 to 1904.

The toilet bowl is in very good condition.

The toilet bowl has no chips, cracks or chips.

Pitcher height: approximately 29 cm.

Weight of the jug: 1,546 kg.

The bowl is in good condition but there is a star-shaped crack in the bottom, see the photos.

The crack is less important inside the bowl. It is visible about 12 cm long on the inside compared to about 20 cm on the outside of the bowl.

The toilet bowl has no chips.

Bowl diameter: approximately 40.5 cm.

Height of the bowl: approximately 14.2 cm.

Weight of the bowl: 3,580 kg.

This two-piece toilet set remains an exceptional set despite the star-shaped crack in the bottom of the bowl.

The enamel of each of the two pieces has retained its shine.

The Woodpecker decor is simply sublime...!!! and almost impossible to find today.

Used item.

This English earthenware toilet set has a history of over 100 years and is by no means in new condition. It is therefore necessary to take into account that despite a rigorous selection and description in order to present a quality set, each of the pieces may contain minimal defects caused by the passage of time. To have an impeccable condition, I invite you to turn to new or more modern items.
