Sterling Silver OLD WALLINGFORD Compote/Candy Dish or Basket w/Handle- Weighted 

This is a beautiful piece of vintage sterling silver by Old Wallingford. The compote's bowl is 6" in diameter and it is 7.5" tall with the handle up, 3 3/4" with it down.  It has open work on the bowl, fancy edges on the bowl and the base, and a lovely handle.  On the bottom is "Old Wallingford; STERLING, Cement Filled, Reinforced, M22".   It belonged to my great aunt Agnes.  

This compote/candy dish is in excellent condition.  No missing silver or scratches.  There is one very tiny dent along the bottom edge.  The basket is so thin and soft because it is pure sterling that it is difficult to keep its exact shape.  It is just slightly off the round - you would have to look closely to notice.
