Condition Report
The basket displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. A couple of breaks in the pierced decoration and some small solder repairs are visible. The hinges on the swing handle are quite loose so that the handle does not stay upright. The fixings would need to be tightened. Some minor nibbles to the rim of the glass liner. The maker's mark is partly worn and difficult to read, the second letter is possibly 'I'. The other hallmarks are rubbed but still legible.
