Around 1820, master modeler Karl Frederick Riese designed an elegantly curved FRENCH BASKET with an openwork rim for the " Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin ." In one version of the model, the basket was produced without a base.
In the classic version, the basket was mounted on a fluted base with a square plinth. Another version shows the basket supported by three lion’s feet. The neoclassical-style basket bowl, like the FRENCH vase, is inspired by a model from Sèvres. In 1822, at the request of the Prussian King Frederick Wilhelm III, richly decorated French basket bowls were crafted at the Berlin manufactory as part of the wedding service for his daughter Alexandrine and Grand Duke Paul Frederick of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Rich gilding and an ornamental band matching the plate rims adorn the fruit baskets.
In 1842, on the occasion of her engagement to the Bavarian Crown Prince Maximilian II, the Prussian Princess Marie also received a table service made of Berlin porcelain for 50 people. It was a gift from the Prussian King, “ Frederick ” Wilhelm IV, to his cousin. The eight French basket bowls were elaborately gilded and decorated with a decorative band of gold ornaments and scattered flowers on a blue “ Fond ” background.
Even today, the “ Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Berlin ” offers the FRENCH BASKET without a foot.
