Around 1820, the model master Karl Frederick Riese designed an elegantly curved FRENCH BASKET with an openwork rim for the Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin. One version of the basket was made without a foot.
In the classic model variant, the basket was set on a fluted base with a square plinth. Another version shows the basket supported by three lion feet. Like the FRENCH vase, the classical-style basket bowl is inspired by a model form from Sevrès. In 1822, the Prussian King Frederick William III commissioned the Berlin manufactory to produce richly decorated French wicker bowls as part of the wedding service for his daughter Alexandrine and Grand Duke Paul Frederick of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The fruit baskets are richly gilded and adorned with an ornamental band that matches the flags on the plates.
In 1842 II. on the occasion of her engagement to the Bavarian Crown Prince Maximilian II. the Prussian Princess Marie also received II. dinner service made of Berlin porcelain for 50 people. It was a gift from the Prussian King Frederick IV to his cousin. The eight French wicker bowls were elaborately gilded and Fond with a band of gold ornaments and scattered flowers on Fond blue Fond .
The Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin still offers the FRENCH BASKET without a foot today.
