Lot 522
A 19th Century "Meissen" pierced boat shaped basket with floral encrusted decoration, the base marked 135 10" £40-60

This lot does have some damage although strangley enough, the flowers have very little or no damage and it is the leaves that have suffered the most. Alot of the leaves, particularly around the base are chipped and there is a lot of chipping or loss of the green glaze to the leaves. The gilt banding decoration is also quite worn around the top. There are no chips or cracks adn no obvious restoration.
