A large biscuit white porcelain basket featuring a putto guiding a prancing fawn adorned with a garland of flowers, harnessed to a richly molded chariot with rocaille decoration, resting on a base simulating rocky ground. The overall composition is dynamic, animated by supple lines and extremely fine modeling, particularly in the rendering of childlike volumes, the animal's coat and floral details. The openwork basket with balusters is inspired by the flower vase models in vogue in the great European manufactures at the end of the 18th century, adapted here to a 19th-century Romantic aesthetic.
Under the base, the piece bears the blue mark with two crossed swords of the Meissen factory, as well as the recessed numbers 7097 and 8.
Condition report: a few light chips visible on the floral crown.
