Several baskets, one resembling a "Plat de Menage".

Table decoration made of KPM-Berlin biscuit porcelain, partially glazed. On a three-tiered pedestal with a rounded profile, three caryatids in the form of men or women serve as supports for a three-tiered bowl. Above the profiled base with a relief pattern in the form of a checkered braid, an elegantly carved, decorated, arched, pierced wall is featured. On the underside of the bowl, there is a winged relief, painted royal blue with a rosette. The caryatids are executed in Greco-Roman style and represent Flora (Chloris) or Bacchus (Dionysus) with floral wreaths and vine leaves, symbolizing spring and autumn. Possibly produced by Johann Carl Friedrich Riese (active 1789-1834) as the model master. Rich gold and green-bronze decoration. Height 33 cm. With the onset of Classicism, there was an increasing departure from painting on porcelain and glazing in favor of biscuit. Johann Carl Friedrich Riese designed several central dining pieces with fruit bowls at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 19th century, which are supported by figures from Greco-Roman mythology and were created after ancient prototypes. Riese worked according to his own designs and at the request of architect Hans Christian Genelli. See Kollmann, Berlin Porcelain, Vol. I, pp. 138 and following, 185, 319; Vol. II, Pl. 175a. A pair of imperial partially glazed, gilded and green-bronze biscuit porcelain citrus baskets with caryatids as the tabletop. There is an inventory number on the bottom; scepter mark. KPM-Berlin.
