This exquisite pair of Paris Porcelain baskets was made in France circa 1860. Each basket features a gracefully flared reticulated body, highlighted with hand-applied green enamel and enriched with finely detailed gilt. The open lattice design adds an airy elegance, while the gleaming pedestal bases and square plinths provide balance and refinement. The combination of crisp white porcelain, vivid green trim, and rich gilding exemplifies classic French taste of the mid-19th century. Baskets of this form first gained popularity in the 1830s during the reign of King Louis Philippe and remained a staple of Parisian decorative arts. These baskets are particularly striking when filled with fresh or silk flowers, as the openwork design allows blossoms and greenery to be beautifully framed by the porcelain lattice.
