Exquisite 3-piece Hand-Painted French Vintage Ceramic Earthenware Wall Fountain with Basin and lid made by famous French maker of faience earthenware Lallier a Moustiers in Angers, France. This wall mounted water tank with brass spout and sink water basin bowl "Lavabo" in French underneath was used back in the day to wash up after using the toilet or after a day in the garden. You fill the top with water and empty the bottom after cleaning.
A lovely item to hang on the wall as a decorative piece, for storage. The wood board does not come with the fountain and the brass spout is missing a piece so needs to be replaced if you want to use it. You must hang it on the wall manually thus choosing how you want it arranged.
Comes with original flyer from the manufacturer. Fontaine Moustiers signed by Lallier and factory installed in Moustiers Sainte Marie since 1969. Sticker and signed "Fait par Lallier a Moustiers - Decor entierement peint a la main"
