Description
Lovely early 20th century, about 1930, bride's basket made by Wm Mounts Homan Manufacturing Company in Cincinnatti, Ohio. The basket is pedestal footed with a reticulated design on the edge and handle. The handle is engraved with the letter "P" on the top.Markings
: This piece is silver-plated and marked "Sheffield Design - Made in US" which is the Homan proprietary line name for their method of electro-plating. It's also marked "EPNS Electroplated Nickel Silver" and "0190" which is the mold form pattern 'name'. (See last photo for all identifying marks.)
My appraiser tells me there would have been a glass insert for this basket, but I don't have it.
Polishes up beautifully (will tarnish again over time if you like the Boho look). No signs of base metal peeking through the silver-plate. Minor scratches in keeping with normal use.
Measurements
: 6" tall to top of basket and about 11.25" tall to top of handle. 6" wide across top, 8" wide including handle.
Wonderful bridal shower gift, table centerpiece, buffet accent, and more.
