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

A biscuit porcelain table decoration by KPM-Berlin, 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 a profiled base with a relief pattern of a checkered lattice, an elegantly carved arcaded openwork wall adorns the piece. Below the bowl, there is a winged relief painted in royal blue with a rosette. The caryatids are executed in the Greco-Roman style and represent Flora (Chloris) or Bacchus (Dionysus) with floral wreaths and vine leaves, symbolizing spring and autumn. Possibly produced by Johann Karl Friedrich Riese (active 1789-1834) as a model master. Rich gold and green-bronze detailing. Height 33 cm. With the onset of Classicism, there was an increasing deviation from painting on porcelain and glazing in favor of biscuit. Johann Karl Friedrich Riese designed several centerpieces for tableware with fruit bowls in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, held by figures from Greco-Roman mythology, created after ancient prototypes. Riese worked according to his own designs and at the request of the architect Hans Christian Genelli. See Collmann, Berlin Porcelain, Volume I, pp. 138 ff., 185, 319; Volume II, Plate 175a. A pair of imperial partially glazed, gilded, and green-bronze biscuit porcelain citrus baskets with caryatids as table tops. On the base, there is an inventory number; the scepter mark. KPM-Berlin.
