About the Item

A distinguished mid-20th century Empire style porcelain and gilt compote basket bowl, finely crafted in Portugal and richly decorated in the manner of Paris porcelain. The piece is designed with an elegant round, slightly marquise-shaped form, its white ground enhanced with refined gilt detailing that accentuates the pierced basket body and the overall neoclassical character. Resting on four finely sculpted gilt lion paw feet, the compote exudes a sense of grandeur and timeless sophistication associated with the Empire aesthetic. This decorative yet functional porcelain basket demonstrates the tradition of exquisite craftsmanship for which Portugal is well regarded. The underside bears the maker’s mark, further attesting to its authenticity and quality. Its graceful proportions and gleaming gilt details make it a versatile object, whether displayed as a centerpiece on a dining table or sideboard, placed upon a console as a decorative accent, or used for presenting fruits and other table offerings in an elegant setting. The condition is very good, with no chips, cracks, or repairs, and only minor wear consistent with age and careful use. Measuring approximately 4.75 inches in height and 10.5 inches in width, it is a beautifully balanced piece that unites decorative artistry with practical versatility.
