Italian term or phrase: utensili da toeletta
from the description of an exhibition:

Sono esposti interessanti e pregiati esemplari di vasellame per bere e per mangiare e oggetti legati alle abitudini quotidiane più raffinate, come specchi o utensili da toeletta.

I think it includes hairbrushes, combs, and everything need for one's personal grooming... any clues? :-))

thanks in advance, everyone!
