This exquisite late 19th-century vessel by Doulton Burslem (Nile Street, England) features the rare triple-handle configuration, traditionally known as a "Tyg" or "Loving Cup." Given its specific dimensions and ergonomic three-handle design, this piece is remarkably well-suited for use as a Netilat Yadayim (ritual hand-washing cup).

The porcelain is decorated with a delicate hand-colored floral transfer (Pattern C6083) against a warm cream ground. The three handles and the elegantly scalloped rim are finished in heavy, high-karat gold gilding with Rococo-style scrollwork. This is a superior cabinet-grade piece that successfully bridges the gap between Victorian fine art and functional ritual use.
