Provenance
Property from an International Private Collection
This basket corresponds to one of the 'Two fine oval white and gold cream-basons [sic], pierced covers and plates' which sold for £15.6s in the 1769 Worcester sale. Another from the Zorensky Collection was sold by Bonhams on 23 February 2005, lot 213. Although popular in the 18th century, simple gilded pieces such as this were often embellished with enamel decoration in the 19th century, making the present lot a rare survivor.
