Washbowl and pitcher- not a set- Pitcher by Laughlin, white, 12” high at top. Washbowl W.E.P. Co China- 16 ¼” across—Lettie Malan about 1900. Water in pitcher is poured into bowl to wash your face in the morning if your bedroom has no sink. Also G. H. Malan’s dimestore glasses lay in bowl.
Do you mean the glasses “lay” in the bowl?
That is precisely what was meant. I’ve fixed it. It got garbled in translation from papa’s book to my computer screen..
