DescriptionA basket with a squat, spherical base and wide, flared top. A short neck lies in between the two. A gold enamel ring decorated with swirled and lattice designs runs around its base. Delicate, white flowers with either pink or blue accents are applied atop a bed of painted leaves on both the front and back of the base. The pink petaled flowers have yellow and orange centers accented with a tiny, gold dot. The blue ones have only the dot. The same floral designs are echoed on the sides of the flared top, but in much larger arrangements. There are small ones on the inside of its front and back as well. Any space on the top not covered with the floral designs is painted with gold enamel.
