This is a compotier with a strawberry motif, beloved by the writer George Sand, known as Chopin's lover. There are fine crackles throughout, and slight staining. It has an antique feel and is a very tasteful item. The coloring is beautiful, and the fine details of the strawberry runners and the veins of the leaves are very carefully painted. There is a hairline crack of about 2cm in one place. This is a very old item, dating back about 150-180 years. One wonders under whose care it was used. The fact that it remains in such condition suggests that it was cherished by its owner. For those who love antiques, including its history.
