Applied Floral Lattice-Work Ceramic Basket/Bowl

This item is a decorative ceramic basket or bowl, likely intended as a centerpiece or catch-all. It is predominantly cream-colored with extensive hand-painted details. A prominent feature is the lattice-work design, which forms cut-outs around the upper portion of the item, painted in a bright yellow. Centrally located on the top is a three-dimensional applied ceramic rose with distinct petals, showing a transition from yellow at its base to a reddish-pink or maroon at the edges, accented by bright green leaves. The cream surface is further embellished with delicate floral motifs in a muted palette of blues, reds, and greens, interspersed with brown stylized scrollwork or flourishes. The overall construction appears to be molded ceramic or porcelain, with a glossy glaze finish, characteristic of decorative ceramics from the mid-20th century, possibly Italian or European in origin. The visible condition appears good, with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear visible in the provided image. The hand-painted elements suggest a degree of craftsmanship beyond mass production, though specific maker's marks are not visible. The size appears to be moderate, fitting comfortably in one hand, indicating it's a small to medium-sized decorative object rather than a large serving piece. The style evokes a traditional, somewhat ornate aesthetic.
