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

This small white Limoges porcelain basket is attributed to Manufacture MP Samie, based in Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche.

Round and shallow in shape, it features delicate openwork with regularly spaced openings arranged in rows around the entire body. The slightly scalloped rim complements the intricate pierced design.

Made entirely from glazed white porcelain, with no painted decoration, the piece highlights the delicacy of the craftsmanship and the luminous whiteness of the porcelain.

Its compact size makes it suitable as an individual bread basket for rolls, or for presenting biscuits, petits fours, dried fruit and other table accompaniments. It can also be used decoratively as a small bowl or catchall dish.

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.
