The pieces I have to offer are all by The Cook Pottery in Trenton NJ about the turn of the century. The teal flowers look like bachelors buttons to me. There are no nicks or cracks. The wash basin is about 16\" diameter. Some gold has rubbed off over the last 100 years. It is about 4.5\" tall. I do combine shipping although the pieces would be safer shipped alone.
Below is some history of the company.THE COOK POTTERY COMPANY, TRENTON, N. J.This company was organized in the early part of 1894, succeeding to the business of Messrs. Ott & Brewer. The officers are: Charles Howell Cook, President; F. G. Mellor, Vice-President and Treasurer, and James J. Mulheron, Secretary.Their mark for C. C. ware was the British Lion and Unicorn, with shield bearing the monogram of the Cook Pottery Co. with the name Mellor & Co. below. This mark was adopted for the purpose of avoiding any confusion between the products of this factory and the old Crescent Pottery, whose goods were then stamped “Cook & Hancock.”On porcelain dinner ware two marks were used, one composed of three feathers, the other a circle enclosing the combined names of Etruria and Mellor & Co.
