<td width="100%">
Faience basket / planter / jardiniere decorated with vines and grapes. It was made by Faience de Langeais in Touraine, France. Characteristic of this fine faience is the silver decoration over ivory ceramic. According to the July 2002 issue of the French magazine, Art & Decoration (p. 88), at the time this jardiniere was made silver was a very expensive metal so platinum was used instead! Marked on the underside with the "Ch. de Boissimon à Langeais I et L (Indre et Loire)" signature. In good, used condition with minor signs of wear as shown. Please ask questions, request additional photos and shipping costs before bidding.

Measurements:6.25" tall by 7.5" at widest point (handles).
