OFFERED HERE FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE IS THIS ORNATE SILVERPLATE BASKET. IT SEEMS A BIT LARGE TO BE CALLED A BRIDE'S BASKET BUT COULD BE.TRY AS I MIGHT, I HAVE FOUND NO MARKS...THEY SHOULD BE THERE ON A PIECE OF THIS QUALITY. THAT IS NO MARKS WITH RESPECT THE MAKER OR THE SILVER CONTENT BUT IT MUST BE PLATE.....AND MY POLISH CLOTH RUBS BLACK!
THERE IS A RAISED DESIGN ON THE RIM. IF ONE LOOKS UNDERNEATH, THE RIM IS FILLED/LEVEL/FLAT RATHER THAN HOLLOWED OUT...AN INDICATION OF QUALITY. THERE IS AN ETCHED SCROLLING LEAF DESIGN DRAPING DOWN TOWARDS THE CENTER.
TRULY THE PIECE LOOKS BRAND NEW AND I DO ASSUME THAT IT IS MADE AFTER 1950.
I HAVE DONE PHOTOS WITH A MEASURING TAPE BUT SHOULD MENTION THAT THE HANDLE WILL STAY IN PLACE STANDING AND IT RISES TO ABOUT 9 INCHES AND THE DIAMETER OF THE BODY IS 12 INCHES.
THERE ARE NO DINGS OR SCRATCHES. THE ONE THING TO MENTION IS THAT WHEN ONE LOOKS AT THE PIECE AT AN ANGLE, PARTICULARLY IN SUNLIGHT, ON THE LINES OF THE RISE AND LOWERING OF THE SWERVES, ONE CAN SEE COPPER, I ASSUME FROM POLISHING.
IT WEIGHS 2 POUNDS.
THIS WOULD BE A WONDERFUL PIECE TO USE FOR THE UPCOMMING HOLIDAYS OR GIVE AS A GIFT.
HAPPY BIDDING!
