Lot C - Auction Title: Set Of Three Antique Wire Baskets With Decorative Majolica And Ceramic Inserts

A unique set of three antique wire baskets featuring beautifully crafted metal frames paired with decorative inserts. Two of the baskets are adorned with vibrant hand-painted Majolica inserts, showcasing intricate patterns and rich colors typical of the late 19th to early 20th century. The third basket features a ceramic insert with a detailed embossed design, likely of Japanese origin.

Identification of Majolica Inserts:
1. Basket 2 (blue and green circular design): This insert appears to be authentic Majolica, with its vivid colors and intricate patterns.
2. Basket 3 (floral fan design): While visually decorative, this insert is more likely a ceramic piece inspired by Japanese aesthetics, not traditional Majolica.
3. Basket 1 (embossed figure scene): The embossed central medallion design suggests a ceramic or cast insert rather than Majolica.

Notes: Consistent with age and use; the wire baskets exhibit some tarnishing, and the ceramic plates show minor surface wear.

Consistent with age and use.
