Basket 1868

Albert-Ernest Carrier-Belleuse's "Basket," created in 1868, is a stunning example of French ceramic artistry. The piece, crafted from earthenware and glazed in a vibrant palette, features two cherubic figures flanking a woven basket-shaped bowl. The cherubs are depicted with delicate features and a playful demeanor, adding a touch of whimsy to the design. The basket's intricate weave and the use of contrasting colors create a sense of depth and texture, making "Basket" a visually captivating object that would have been admired for its craftsmanship and artistic finesse.
