Basket exterior decorated with cobalt flowers and spiky green leaves. Modeled on a scroll decorated base with washy ochre glaze to underside. Generally good. Tight hairline to basket rim. No chips. No flakes. Kiln effects: a few small glaze misses to the mottled base; shrinkage cracks to underside of base. Repair to reattach the basket. 13.5ins high, 8.5ins diameter at top
