Welcome to Antiques & Moore! This listing is for a GORGEOUS 18th Century Georgian Period oval, boat shaped sugar basket with its original cobalt glass liner, c. Measures 5" high, 4 1/4" wide and 6 5/8 long.
Weighs 7.6 ounces (with the glass liner removed). This fabulous silver basket has a wide pierced and engraved design around the sides with a cartouche in the center of the front that is beautifully monogrammed.The design of this basket is incredible! It has an attached reeded swing handle and the upper rim with matching foot rim. The cobalt glass liner is in exceptional condition and is exactly shaped to fit into the silver basket.
The silver is further embellished with a bright cut swag design just above the pedestal base and in a band that circles the raised portion of the pedestal base.
