Has been replated and has a nice thick layer of silver. The handle does not stand up on its own. There are a few small nicks and dents but these have been covered over with silver. The flat basket part looks a little sloped and not totally flat. It shows very well.
A shiny rich looking cake basket, which will make an elegant serving piece today. So very much handwork went into this piece to make it so beautiful.
