This elegant vintage porcelain basket bowl is a beautifully crafted example of Italian Capodimonte-style decorative ware, featuring an open lattice weave and a finely modeled applied rose with green leaves at the rim.
Finished in a rich, creamy white glaze, the basket has a sculptural scalloped edge and substantial porcelain weight, giving it a refined presence well beyond typical decorative bowls. The hand-applied floral motif adds romantic dimension and reflects the high level of craftsmanship associated with mid-century Italian export porcelain.
Pieces of this quality were commonly produced in Italy during the post-war period and sold internationally, often unmarked, as decorative accents for vanity tables, sideboards, and display shelves.
An exceptionally versatile and collectible accent, perfect for jewelry, trinkets, guest soaps, potpourri, or simply displayed on its own.
