This porcelain basket, manufactured at the time of the 19th century by the famous Meissen factory in Germany, is a piece of great artistic and historical value. Its style evokes the influences of the famous French ceramist Jacob Petit, known for his extravagant decorations and richly detailed designs.
The floral decoration, abundantly present on this basket, is typical of the Jacob Petit style, with a profusion of vibrant flowers and delicately hand-painted birds. These floral and avian motifs were popular subjects in ceramics of the period, often symbolizing the beauty of nature and wonder at the natural world.
Although this piece has some accidents to the flowers, these imperfections can be considered as marks of time and the history of the object. They add a certain authenticity and history to this piece, testifying to its use and appreciation through the years.
Porcelain baskets were prized items at the time, often used as centerpieces on tables at special occasions or as decorative elements in elegant interiors.
This Meissen porcelain basket, with its Jacob Petit influences, is a magnificent example of 19th century craftsmanship and design. Despite its few accidents, it retains all its charm and appeal, providing a fascinating window into the glorious past of European ceramics.
