Delicately crafted in France circa 1880, this charming barbotine porcelain basket captures the naturalistic beauty of late 19th-century floral ceramics. The oval vessel is richly adorned with an explosion of hand-modeled flowers in full relief, including roses, carnations, and camellias in soft pastel tones of blush, ivory, and buttercream. A gracefully arched twig-form handle, tied with a sculpted pink ribbon, rises above the basket and echoes the rustic naturalism of the floral arrangement.
The interior is glazed in a pale celadon hue, contrasting gently with the richly colored blooms and leafy accents around the exterior. Measuring 7.5 inches wide by 6 inches deep and 6.25 inches high, this petite centerpiece is a testament to the finesse and romantic spirit of French barbotine artistry. Minor losses and restorations consistent with age do not detract from the overall impact of this ornate and highly decorative piece. A lovely addition to any collection of antique faience or 19th-century porcelain florals.
