Question

Wash bowl and pitcher
Hi, I bought a wash bowl and a pitcher at a garage sale but don't know anything about it. On the bottom of the bowl and the pitcher it says Flo-Blue, England, 1886. Could you please tell me more about it (like where and when it was made, who made it and if it is not a copy)? Attached is a photo of it. Also, do you have any idea about its value? Thank you.

Answer
Vito,
Great find. It's beautiful. I'm not an antiques expert, but I do a little collection of my own. Flo-Blu is highly desirable and collectible. There are a lot of replicas out there, so you can't be too careful. I'd highly recommend you consult an antiques expert, either on AllExperts, locally or here are a few reputable sources;
