This blue printed, soft paste reticulated basket was originally part of a Worcester dessert service. The central transfer decoration in the bottom of the basket is commonly referred to as Worcester's "Pine Cone" pattern. This pattern always features a spray including two pine cones, a central peony and a pomegranate. A combination of printed and brush-applied cobalt elements decorates the sides around the center spray. Worcester finishes the exterior with applied molded florets, highlighted in blue.
