This lovely (and rare!) white porcelain basket comes from Tressemanes & Vogt, one of the many factories doing business in the Limoges region of France at the end of the 19th century.<p>

The basket is hexagonal (six-sided) in shape. Although it does not have a pattern name, the basket presents on each side a panel of rose bouquets against a gold parquetry shape on the white porcelain. In the middle of each panel is a bouquet of light and dark pink wild roses with leaves: at each end is a single wild rose with leave. Each panel is scooped at the top, which contributes to an overall sense of being festooned with banners.<p>

The basket measures 4 1/2 inches tall with the handle, 1 7/8 inches tall without, the bowl of the basket is 5 1/2 inches in diameter, and the base is 4 inches across. The basket has a self-footed shape due to the angles of the sides to the base. Over the white porcelain and the design is an iridescent pink and green glaze which adds to the prettiness and delicacy of the basket. The basket is trimmed with gold, and the handle is gold.<p>

The bottom is marked with the T and V green rectangle mark. Although there is expectedly some wear to the gold on the handle, the basket is otherwise in excellent shape!<p>

This is a special opportunity to own fine antique T and V porcelain!
