This is a beautiful and unique antique figurine featuring a cherubic putto carrying two wickerstyle baskets. The baskets and the base are adorned with clusters of dark blue berries and green leaves. The figurine has a detailed, sculpted appearance and a glaze with an aged, crackled finish, often called craquelure. This piece is likely made of pottery or terracotta and has two small drain holes, suggesting it was originally intended for use as a planter or cachepot.

This style of pottery is reminiscent of Majolica, a technique known for its vibrant glazes and intricate designs. Pieces like this were popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and often featured natureinspired or classical themes. This figurine would make a great decorative accent or a charming planter for a small indoor plant.
