| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
This basket of flowers shows an eastern and a geometric influence. The blooms are stylised, and the base and the edge of the basket are emphasised by rectangular (baguette-cut) diamonds. The combination of rock crystal with diamonds and platinum provides a study in shades of white and colourless materials.
