Sweet Early and very romantic large low brides basket in ruffled shape with Ball detail edge and handle as well as 2 sets of highly ornate and scrolling initials, a central Calligraphic D insignia, and sweet strawberry, leaf, and flower designs around the center.  There is a real charm to the somewhat unsophisticated style of the engravings- as though is was customized for a particular couple as a gift at their wedding. Stamped with a "J" and and "C" on the reverse, with a star stamp between. I suspect it is 1800s European but I have not found the maker mark in my research as yet.  This piece is about 12.25" long, 10.5" wide and 10" tall with handle up. Could use a better polishing job but free of dents or flaws.
