Item: Sugar Basket Description: Pierced and bright-cut vase-shape on square pedestal foot Hallmark: London 1779 by Anne Chesterman Dimensions: 80mm (diameter) x mm x 108 mm (high without handle); 90g weight Comments: A very attractive Classical period sugar basket with hinged swing handle made by a sought after lady silversmith. The body of this vase-shaped basket is intricately and expertly pierced and engraved with floral and urn motifs. It stands on a square pedestal foot with engraved crest. The blue glass liner is a later replacement (a good fit but with some movement). The overall condition is very good, however there is a pin prick hole caused by the original stamping of the lion passant mark (see photo of hallmarks).
