These baskets come in varying sizes,
with and without handles, and the ma

outside with festoons OF plaster flowers,
enameled In delicate pastel tints %
painted with the gilt.
The gilt used is a dull, deep gold
as dark as bronze. and In fact, a few
of the baskets are treated to a coat Of
bronze, the flowers being in light tint5
When these baskets are filled with
