Vintage Austrian footed and liddedHair receivingbowl
This sale is for a beautiful liddedHair receiverby H, Wehinger and company, Austria. It is a large size, 5\" X 3\"-1/2\" tall. It is hand painted and displays lovely. The outside is ivory colored with fabulous roses and leaves that are all hand painted. This lovely lidded and footedbowl is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. It will make a wonderful addition to your Antique or Vintage Porcelain collection. Could any body tell me why they used these? Did they reuse the Hair for something? I am curious and I don\'t know. Please help me with my education if you can...Received 9/21/20014, sometimes all you have to do is ask. There is an untapped \"fountain of knowledge\" among users. Dear aguevu,\"This Hair Collector was used in the Victorian Period on Milady\'s dresser to collect hair from her brush and comb. Most hair was re-used to stuff pincushions and in stuffing small furnishings, such as footstools. Most human hair during that period was used to stuff small, fine bags, called ratts which were then placed under Milady\'s hair to plump it up. Some hair was braided and used to fashion rings, bracelets, necklaces, and even coiled into glass-fronted lockets. There are Museums which feature hair jewelry in Dearborn Michigan, and in Minneapolis Minnesota.\" Some information was found in Wikipedia, and in an Antique Jewelry Book.
Well, now we all know!
