This wonderful swing-handled sugar basket is beautifully repousséd with lovely foliate and floral decoration set on an unusual background of chased small circles.
Applied banding around the shaped edge of the bowl and domed pedestal base act as ornamentation and also as reinforcement. Rococo inspired cartouches are on
both sides with one never having been monogrammed and the other engraved with 'E.W.C.' initials in an Old English style. The swing handle is cast and formed as intertwining branches with flowers.
This antique silver basket is marked underneath 'E&S/ NEW YORK' and by the great New York retailer 'BALL, BLACK & CO'. It measures 6.5 inches long by 4 inches
deep by 8 inches high to the top of the handle, weighs 9.15 troy ounces and is in very good/ excellent antique condition.
