Antique Alba China BONA FAMA EST MELIOR ZONA AUREA PITCHER BASIN 1850-1899 RARE AMERICAN. Pitcher: 7" high x 6" wide with/out handle x 3" diameter opening, 7" handle to spot Vase: 5.5" high x 4" wide, 3" deep, 2.5" at base, Chamber pot: 5.75" high, 8.5" wide/diameter Gorgeous hand-painted 3-piece Alba China set. The chamber pot has a handle (repaired) and its opening measures 8.5 inches in diameter. Has the Alba stamp on the bottom. The pitcher is so elegant w/ its own handle. It's almost 8 inches tall with the Alba stamp on the bottom. The small vase is just over 5 inches high - it does not have the stamp on the bottom, probably due to base size, but is definitely a match to the set. The Alba mark was used by the Edwin Bennett Pottery Company after 1890. It was used on the company's semi-porcelain ware. The Latin motto "Bona Fama Est Melior Zona Aurea" roughly translates as "A good reputation is better than a golden belt." "Alba" means white. The pottery was in business in Baltimore, Maryland, from 1846 to 1936. Condition: The handle on the big bowl has been repaired. Hard to tell from far away, but close-up you can see the repair. The little vase has a chip off the front. The pitcher has some crazing on the very bottom of the vase. The little vase also has some crazing on the vase itself.
