Vintage James Kent Old Foley Wash Bowl & Jug Set – Floral Chinoiserie – Made in England

Bring timeless English charm into your home with this stunning vintage wash bowl and jug set by James Kent Ltd, part of their well‑known Old Foley range. Made in Staffordshire, England, this matching set features vibrant Chinoiserie‑inspired decoration with coral and teal florals, delicate birds, butterflies, and elegant gold gilt detailing.

Originally used on bedside washstands before indoor plumbing became standard, these sets are now highly collectible decorative pieces. The colours, pattern, and scalloped gold rim place this example firmly in the 1950s–1960s production era, during the mid‑century revival of ornate floral pottery.

This set displays beautifully on a dresser, hallway table, bathroom shelf, or as part of a cottagecore or vintage interior. A lovely statement piece with authentic English heritage.

Condition

This vintage set is in very good condition with bright colours, clean glaze, and no cracks or structural damage. Minor age‑related wear may be present, consistent with mid‑century pottery. The bowl and jug are a matching pair.
