Basket of fruit 1750 - 1760

"Basket of Fruit" is a small porcelain box produced by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory between 1750 and 1760. The miniature box is made in the form of a basket overflowing with brightly painted fruit, and is adorned with a delicate white ribbon and bow. The box, now held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the Chelsea factory during the 18th century.
