These smaller baskets were referred to as "sweetmeat" baskets and were used for serving small candies or pastries, i.e. anything sweet.<br>This small basket is in very nice condition. It was made<br>by London silversmith William Plummer in 1756. Plummer was known for his work in pierced silver designs, something which clearly shows here. Condition-wise, there are no breaks in the lovely pierced design, and there is no wobble in the base. There is an image of a horse engraved in the base of the bowl, likely a crest of some sort.<br>This basket measures about 4 3/4" tall with the handle, 1 7/8" tall without, 4 3/4" wide, and 5 3/4" long. It weighs 178 grams of sterling silver.<br>P<br>lease look through the high resolution photos for more visual details, and ask any pertinent questions.<br>Please check our enlarged scans for more detail.<br>Shipping/handling terms:<br>USA SHIPPING ONLY.  $14.95 expedited shipping includes insurance.
