Raised floral swags and neoclassical ornament give the otherwise monochromatic piece just enough detail, while the crisp white porcelain keeps the overall effect light and refined.

At 15.5 inches wide, it is particularly well suited to a dining table, console, garden room, or sideboard. Filled with miniature topiary, moss, herbs, or small flowering plants, it could create a wonderfully old-world tablescape; left empty, the sculptural shape reads almost like a miniature architectural garden.
