This elegant 19th century silver-plated flower basket with glass insert is a refined example of Victorian decorative art. Both functional and ornamental, it was designed to showcase flowers or serve as a striking table centerpiece.
The basket features a detailed hand-shaped handle rising gracefully above the vessel, adding sculptural charm. Its thick glass liner, clear and heavy, enhances both beauty and functionality. For presentation purposes, the basket is shown filled with blue liquid in the photographs—this is not included in the sale and was used solely to highlight the glass insert’s clarity and depth.
The footed base is stamped with four hallmarks, affirming its authenticity and origin. The silver plate retains a warm antique patina, while the glass insert remains intact and well-preserved.
