This elegant Wedgwood creamware basket retains its original matching stand, an increasingly difficult combination to find together.
Made in England circa 1820, both the basket and stand are decorated with matching pierced arcades highlighted by fine midnight brown slip borders, while the basket’s gracefully curved handles are accented in the same rich brown.
The body is decorated with crisply molded horizontal bands that contrast beautifully with the openwork borders.
Whether displayed empty or filled with flowers or fruit, the basket is equally attractive as a centerpiece or displayed on a shelf, mantel, or console.
