Summary
One of two medium oval baskets from a Chinese export dessert service. Decorated in colours with fruit, flowers and leafage and the gilt edges. NOTE: It is believed that some of this collection has been incorrectly catalogued. Using our two sets of old inventory cards as reference it would appear this record should be for one (of one) medium oval fruit basket and stand - May 2022
