Pierced Porcelain Basket – Manufacture MP Samie – Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, Late 20th Century

This pierced Limoges porcelain basket is attributed to Manufacture MP Samie, based in Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche, Haute-Vienne, France.

Round and relatively deep in shape, the basket features an elegant scalloped rim and sides pierced with a regular geometric pattern. The openings, arranged in several bands and punctuated by small circular motifs and hearts, create a particularly delicate design while allowing the whiteness of the porcelain to show through.

With its low profile and 18 cm diameter, this piece is well suited to table service, particularly as a bread basket, but can also be used to present biscuits, pastries, dried fruit or other accompaniments. It may equally serve as a decorative basket.

This item comes from a manufacturer’s clearance. It was downgraded to second quality when it left the factory. It remains in its original condition and may show minor variations or irregularities associated with this classification, but is new and has no major apparent defects.
