A finely made antique vintage Dutch sterling silver piercework bonbon or sweetmeat basket. This basket measures 6-1/4" across the floreate handles and 3-7/8" wide; the edges are beaded and the gallery is finely pierced. This basket has some worn and illegible marks on the bottom including the lion mark and a possible maker's mark. It is hallmarked also at the upper rim with a lion silver purity mark, a Minerva head stamp with M in the helmet, and the 1920 date stamp, although it is quite likely that these marks are later stamps, added when the piece was being sold at a later date (1920) and this is a much earlier piece with newer/later added standard marks - the style and workmanship of this basket is completely consistent with early 19th century Dutch silver baskets. It weighs 70 grams (2.5 ounces) and it is in excellent original condition with no dents, bends, corrosion, losses, damage or repairs. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are secondhand and may have slight signs of gentle use. Trackable surface shipping to the continental U.S. starts at $12.50 (other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card. Items paid with a credit card will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US. NOTE: we do not accept PayPal.
