Italian Hand-Painted Porcelain Rose Basket, Marked Italy

Italian Hand-Painted Porcelain Rose Basket, Marked Italy Dimensions: approx. 9” H x 13” L x 7” D Material/Technique: hand-painted, glazed porcelain; sculptural applied roses and foliage; molded “woven” basket form with arched handle. Markings: underside marked “ITALY” with additional mark appearing as “3 H A / 3HA” (see photo). Description Highly decorative Italian porcelain floral basket featuring full-bloom pink and yellow roses with lush green leaves and a green-glazed handle. The modeling is dimensional and detailed, with a convincing basket-weave body and a dense floral arrangement suited for collector display (Italian decorative porcelain / Capodimonte-style tradition). Condition (read carefully) This piece presents beautifully, but it is not mint: • Pink rose: several petals chipped (notably on the rose shown in the photos). • Yellow rose: tiny tip chips only, described as very minimal, plus small edge wear/chipping on the underside of the yellow petals. • No other damage observed beyond typical light handling wear; glaze remains glossy and colors are strong. Photos are considered part of the description—please review close-ups for exact chip locations and size. The appeal here is the hand-painted finish, dimensional sculpting, strong color, and impressive scale. With honest disclosure, this is an excellent display-quality example of Italian floral porcelain, priced appropriately for condition. Most likely mid–late 20th century (circa 1960s–1980s). Reason: the generic “ITALY” stamp with an additional code-like mark (your “3HA”) is typical of export-era Italian decorative porcelains, and this form (applied porcelain roses in a basket / Capodimonte-style) was heavily produced and exported in that period. “Mid- to late-20th century Italian, Capodimonte-style floral basket, marked ITALY.”
