Italian White Ceramic Basketweave Cachepot - 1960s
A wonderfully decorative vintage Italian ceramic cachepot, crafted in a sculptural openwork basketweave design and finished in a crisp, glossy white glaze.
The vessel is particularly charming for its trompe-l’œil construction, with individually modeled ceramic strands creating the appearance of a handwoven basket. The open latticework is complemented by a substantial lower border of twisted rope decoration, giving the piece both texture and architectural presence.
Likely dating to the mid-to-late 20th century, this style of Italian ceramic work reflects the country’s long tradition of translating natural and woven forms into highly decorative glazed pottery. The monochromatic white finish keeps the elaborate construction feeling fresh and surprisingly contemporary.
A beautiful piece displayed empty as a sculptural object, or used as a cachepot for an orchid, flowering plant, or arrangement. Its combination of playful craftsmanship and restrained colour makes it particularly versatile within both traditional and modern interiors.
Vintage condition with age-appropriate variations and wear consistent with age and use.
Italy, circa 1960s–1980s. Glazed ceramic.
