SILVER SWEET BASKETS AND SUGAR BASKETS

Sweet baskets are like miniature sterling silver cake baskets about five inches across. They reflect all the period styles, from the late English George 11 ones of the so-called cast type, to the boat-shaped French antique ones of the 1790’s. Silver basckets are not like sterling silver boxes and  are attractive small articles, always popular and expensive. Look for the same silver marks as antique cake baskets. Sugar baskets are deeper, vase-shaped, usually with glass liners. After 1785 they become boat-shaped, solid like Russian silver goblets . Also found are small goblets in Russia , like tiny silver tubs or buckets, about two and a half inches high.
Solid vase-shaped silver sugar basket about 1790. Handle may be marked. Price and value Range:    £90 - £135.
Unusual Irish silver sugar basket on three legs with female masks. Circa 1775. Handle unlikely to be marked.
Price Range:    £90 - £135.
Wirework sweet silver basket circa 1765. Fully marked on foot. Handle unlikely to be marked.
Price Range:    f80 - £100.
Bottom centre. Earliest of this group of silver basckets circa 1755. Should be fully marked — handle unlikely to be marked.
Price Range:    £200 - £250.
From a silver epergne as one can tell from the extra depth, the small rim foot, and the square hole in the centre of the handle. Also it will bear only the silver maker’s mark and lion passant. Although a sound and genuine sterling silver, less valuable as it is part of something larger, and only part marked.
Price Range:  £100 - £125

Cream pails are small objects two to two and a half inches high. Sometimes modelled as pails, with hooped bands, they are more often pierced, with blue glass liners.
