Created in France during the last quarter of the 19th century, this majolica features a black and green ground, adorned with an exquisite high relief raised barbotine décor of cream and pink flowers with their green leaves. The basket's upper section showcases a large handle accented with a twisted effect while the blue interior is decorated with delicate painted flowers. With its petite proportions and lovely barbotine décor, this French majolica basket circa 1880 will bring a charming decorative touch to any home, perhaps placed above a buffet, chest-of-drawers or on a tabletop.
