A terra cotta planter forms the body of a mosaic collage comprised mostly of 19th century European porcelain and ceramic china fragments in the style known as "picasiette" from "pique assiette" which translates to "stolen from plate."

This large example is paired with a substantial solid cherry wood Asian base.
