Presented is a neat silver sugar basket with a swing handle. This piece dates to
the late 1700s or very early 1800s, and we believe this is an American piece.
The rim of the sugar basket has openings to hold spoons, as the photos
demonstrate. The body of the basket has a lovely hand-chased and hand-engraved
design of leaves, while the side of the rim has a swag and ribbon design
engraved. This is a great quality piece, attractive and well made.
This piece weighs 286 grams or 10.02 regular ounces.
