    Pair Antique Caneware Baskets and Stands England Circa 1815

    $920.00

    This lovely pair of English caneware baskets and stands was made circa 1815.
    Each piece is finely modeled with an all-over low-relief basket-weave pattern featuring delicately pierced details.
    The oval stand has a pierced looped edge, while the basket is adorned with a crisply molded lattice rim.
    With their understated elegance, these baskets embody the refined neoclassical aesthetic and craftsmanship characteristic of English stoneware of the period.
    The warm, cane-colored body is unglazed, with a smooth, matte surface typical of caneware—a form originally developed by Josiah Wedgwood in the 1770s and later emulated by leading Staffordshire potteries.
    Intended for serving bread, fruit, or confections, today they are decorative.

    Dimensions: Basket: 8″ x 5.5″ x 3.75″ tall, Stand: 9.75″ x 7.75″

    Condition: Very good antique condition with minimal wear consistent with age and use. There is a light stain from use on one stand (see images).
