Vintage 19th Century Reed & Barton Pressed Glass and Silverplate Brides Basket. This is a beautiful and rare piece. This brides basket sits on a Reed & Barton frame, # 3660 and is signed \"Mf\'d and plated by Reed and Barton\". It does not carry any other makers marks or symbols, which dates this piece to the late 1800\'s- early 1900\'s as after 1928 Reed and Barton added symbols to their makers mark. The glass is also signed \"Reed and Barton\" in raised letters and is original to the silverplate pedestal and has the same matching flowered design. There are various scenes on the glass of cherubs riding various carriages, dancing, etc. The overall height is 9 1/4 inches tall, the glass basket is 9 1/2 inches in diameter.

The base has no flaws. The glass itself has a small chip and flea bite on the rim, (please take a good look at the photos), and a small chip to the underside glass \"foot\" that inserts into the pedestal (obviously this cannot be seen when the two pieces are put together)

This is a lovely example of Reed and Barton craftsmanship and is quite rare. Would make a stunning addition to any vintage pressed glass or silverplate collection or Holiday table setting.Please feel free to email for more information or additional photos.
