    Description

    Des Moines Iowa Hair Receiver Antique Cobalt Blue White Ribbed C. 1900 Germany.
    Extremely good condition.  Town name of Des Moines, Ia has been hand painted in gold on the side of the ribbed porcelain base.  Lid lifts off and has 1 1/8" hole to insert hair when brush is cleaned (hey, they reused everything back then).  Lid is edged in cobalt blue paint, then over decorated in gold.  Approximate diameter is 3".  Height is 2". Marked "Germany" on underside.  Since it is missing words "Made In", this dates the piece to 1890 - 1918.  I'm going to say this is in the 1890 - 1900 end of that range.
    Condition:  no mentionable issues, such as chips, flakes, breaks, mends, cracks, etc.
    The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge.  If you have a question on an item prior to purchase, please ask. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
    Please see "About me" for the contract  legalese.  Boring, I know, but essential. Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping.
