<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 87068, member: 25&quot;]In the days when indoor piped water was rudimentary if at all, every bedroom in the land except the very poorest has a tile topped wash stand with jug of water and bowl for washing, often with a soap dish to match. Wealthier people who had a maid got warm water in the jug in the morning, others sometimes had to break the ice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since these things were made in the millions, and only breakage stops them,&nbsp; there are still huge numbers around, of widely variable quality and decoration.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trouble is that they are bulky, You could accumulate a group of 40 or 50 from different makers quite cheaply but you&#039;d need to rent a barn to display them all.</p><p><br /></p><p>The chamber pot often lived under the wash stand. Otherwise in a bedside cabinet. Under the bed was for those who lacked either hideaway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
