Description:
English soft-paste porcelain pierced (or openwork or recticulated) oval basket with two entwined twig handles with floral terminals, decorated in blue with the pine cone pattern and marked on the base with a shaded blue crescent, which used extensively at Worcester Porcelain. This Worcester product apparently was the design source for a Chinese attempt at catering to the English market; Godden illustrates a chinese export porcelain version with identical blue-painted decoration. The narrow, scalloped and fluted interior rim has a blue, hand-painted trellis pattern with stylized berries; the shallow well is decorated with a blue transfer print with pine cones, flowers, and scrolling floral and foliate sprays; the exterior sides are decorated with molded flowers with a center blue dot applied at the intersections of the openwork. HD 82.060-82.061and HD 90.185-90.189 are decorated with the same blue pine cone pattern.
