Maker: Spode  Pattern: Italian

This is a gorgous basket, round with pierced body and two side handles. It is superbly decorated both inside and out. Now for the bad news! There is a small hairline to the rim next to one of the handle joins, a chip and small hairline to the rim and a repair to the rim where a piece of approximately 3" x 1" broke off and has been restuck and inside there is a small glazing blemish. The piercing and the handles have absolutely no damage and overall this is still a fine piece. Blue printed oval backstamp.

Dimensions: 20.5 cm diameter, 7 cm high / 8 ins diameter, 2.75 ins high
