Vintage silver plated chasing European cityscape glass lined basket marked KS

Description

A unique silver plated basket with chasing (embossed) designs which appear to be detailed depictions of life in a vintage European village.   It is 6.5" diameter and 5" high and has a 3 section glass liner.  It is marked on the bottom with a K & S in a square with another square shield in between with 3 x's.  Also number 83632.  In my research I found one person who stated the K is the time period and S the manufacturer.  The 3 x's in the shield meant the thickness of the silver.  It was also stated that the 836 was for 1836 and the 32 was the model #. Others thought it was a five digit registration #.  Some mentioned it could have been made in the Hanau area of Germany.  I'm still not sure, but it is a really nice piece. A great find!
