    Today we're offering a beautiful, antique, "Brides Basket", circa late 1800's. Brides baskets were very popular throughout the Victorian and Edwardian era and were typically used to hold the bridal bouquet after the wedding or cards with gifts and served as beautiful, showy table centerpieces. Today they can be used in a variety of ways in our homes or just to enjoy on their own as eye candy.
    Many silver companies produced the exquisite baskets or framework which held the glass basket. This one was made my the Middletown Plate Co. The frame stands 11" high.
    The frilly bowl is so beautiful - we believe it was made by the Mt. Washington Glass Works the late 1800's. It's a type of glass known as Mother-of-Pearl Satin glass. This one has a Dotted Swiss design. It measures 10" long by 7" wide by 5" deep.
    The condition of both pieces is very good with only tiny fleabite chips on the bottom of the bowl's foot. The silver frame is in good condition and features what looks like grape leaves winding around the handle. The patina is lovely and we have not polished it.
    This is one of two baskets we are offering today so be sure to see our other listings!
    * No hassle returns - buyer pays return shipping so please examine pictures carefully.
