Wholesale Ivory ceramic sponge holder with a Breton house design

On the sink of the holiday kitchen there was always a small object like this. This ivory-glazed ceramic sponge holder bears on its front a charming Breton life scene: a house with blue shutters, a bicycle leaning against the wall, a blue mailbox, flower boxes. All carefully lithographed on the cream ceramic. The shape is functional and well designed: two raised parallel rims keep the sponge out of the water, while an oval slot underneath ensures drainage. Dimensions: about 12–13 cm wide. Back glazed in plain ivory, no mark. Decor idea: it naturally finds its place on a farmhouse kitchen sink or a seaside house. It can also serve as a catchall or soap dish on a washbasin, for a touch of Breton nostalgia in the bathroom. * Ivory-cream glazed ceramic sponge holder * Two raised rims, oval drainage slot underneath * Lithographed decoration: Breton house, blue shutters, bicycle, mailbox * Plain ivory back, unmarked * Dimensions: about 12–13 cm wide * Industrial production, France, circa 1970–1990; very good overall condition
