Spanish Glazed Rope Basket Cachepot with Knot Feet - 20th Century

A striking Spanish glazed ceramic rope basket cachepot, hand-modeled with an intricate open lattice design that mimics twisted nautical rope. The form rests on four sculptural knotted rope feet, giving the piece wonderful dimension and a strong architectural presence. Finished in a luminous creamy white glaze with subtle pooling in the recesses, this basket balances classical Mediterranean craftsmanship with timeless coastal elegance.

Rope-motif ceramics such as this were especially popular in mid-20th-century Spanish decorative arts, prized for their sculptural quality and Old World charm.

This piece works beautifully as a cachepot, decorative vessel, or sculptural accent—equally at home in traditional, coastal, or collected European interiors.
