Antique English Silverplate Cranberry Glass Basket

This is a small swing-handled basket, made to hold sweets or sugar at the table. The cranberry glass liner lifts out of the pierced silverplate frame, and the red shows through the openwork. The frame is built from loops of wire with pierced medallions set over them, so there is something to look at from every side.
The glass liner has a few chips and flea bites to the rim. There is fine scratching to the inside of the bowl and light surface haze to the outside, consistent with age and use. The plating is worn through to the base metal at the feet and along the rim band, and the metal beneath is yellow where it shows. The three feet are intact and I did not find any breaks in the wirework or the medallions. The liner sits in the frame as a fitted piece, and I can’t say it began its life with this frame. There are no marks anywhere on the piece, so the age is assessed from construction and materials alone. Please review all photographs closely, as they form part of this description.

Important Info About Antique & Vintage
Every antique and vintage item we carry has lived a life before arriving in your home. These are not factory-made products. They are objects with history, character, and the marks of time.
Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.
Descriptions, dates, attributions, materials, and measurements are provided in good faith and reflect our best assessment based on research, physical examination, and the information available to us. Antique and vintage pieces often carry incomplete or unverifiable histories. Where a detail is an assessment rather than a confirmed fact, it is identified as such. Measurements are approximate. All items are sold as-is, with the photographs and condition report governing.
