Long Description
ceramic/porcelain basket with swirls, flowers and leaves on "front" moon on one side, two cherub faces lower right. Handle is of a child with ruffled collar, pointed hat and short pants, barefoot. hands on one side of basket and feet on the other. color is beige upperwith pale blue accents. Bottom part is a light brown. Gold accents all over piece. Small gold dots on leaves on front. No chips or cracks or repairs. In the picture, it appears that paint is missing from cherub's faces. This is actually a refection of the gold leaf. I have not cleaned it..not sure the safest way. I have never seen another like this and have been unsuccessful in my internet search. Thank you for your help. I am unsure if I want to sell it. Laura
