Jardinière with Putti
The shape of the jardinière is meant to serve a dish made with vegetables from the garden. It has a light blue ground with white spotted all-over design. The oval reserve panels are decorated with putti in various occupations. The reserve is bordered with a floral design that continues to the sides and to the handles. The handles curl out from the sides and take the shape of leaves, decorated with gold. The container has a divider in the middle.
