Very unique flower basket, fruit bowl or decorative centrepiece marked Meriden B Company and Quadruple Plate with number 27. B stands for  Brittannia. Needle incised number 212/29 underside. It features a wonderful raised floral typical Art Nouveau pattern with nice ornate details. Probably late XIXth or early XXth century. Beautiful rounded handle decorated with scrolls at each end. The container design is very modern looking. Basket features a flat bottom and high circular wall and a fixed very simple rounded handle. Because of the patina the colour looks like pewter.

This fine 1880-1920 antique Victorian very special silver-plated basket might have been used for various purposes such as planter, flower basket, bread or even fruit basket. It might have contained a glass liner at on time. It is highly elegant and decorative.

Dimensions: Hauteur 18,5 cm (7 1/4") tall and et diamètre 16,5 cm (6 1/2") X 15,25 cm (6") across at top (the basket is slightly oval at top and may be slighlly deformed) and 14 cm (5 1/2") across at bottom.

État/Condition: Stains and traces of corrosion inside indicate that the basket was probably used as a plant holder. Nice patina and quite good condition overall. Seems slightlty out of shape. The silver on top edge has worn off. 

Smoke-free environment. Shipping fees always combined on multiple purchase.

NOTE: All our products are antique or vintage. We strive to purchase and present only items in good to near-mint condition, but most pieces will show some degree of wear that we try to describe and show in our pictures
