Floral Basket

This is a large reticulated basket made by KPM around 1780. It is rare to find these large versions in good condition these days. This one is nicely handpainted with a superb and very typical floral design in the bottom inside, lots of nice detail on the outside and even some applied flowers byt the handles. Really a very nice piece! The basket is in perfect condition with just a wee bit of gold wear to the top rim and maybe a chip or two to an apllied flower but nothing you can spot without searching very hard for it. The piece is 3.75 inches tall (including the handles), 10.5 inches wide and 7.25 inches deep. It is marked underneath with an 18th century underglaze blue scepter mark as well as an impressed 11 and 40. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
