This early Victorian sterling silver sugar basket combines a silver frame with a rich cobalt blue glass liner. The circular container displays pierced scroll decoration, a crimped top rim, and stands on four scrolled feet, while a cast floral swing handle arches over the top. The silver frame weighs 180g and the total weight is 411g, standing 10.2 cm high excluding the handle, with a width of 12.7 cm and a depth of 12.7 cm. Display this piece on a sideboard top in a living or dining room as a traditional decorative accent or for holding small items. The design reflects mid-nineteenth-century craftsmanship by maker James Nathaniel Creswick in London, dated 1853, presented in original condition. The combination of openwork metal and the deep blue glass creates a distinct contrast suitable for period interiors.

FAQs

Victorian silver sugar baskets are decorative tableware vessels crafted during the nineteenth century to hold sugar, featuring openwork silver body casing and coloured glass inserts.

These items were predominantly constructed from solid sterling silver or silver plate, fitted with removable glass liners in shades like cobalt blue or ruby red to contain fine sugars safely.

Authentic British sterling silver displays standard hallmark impressions, including a makers mark, assay office town mark, purity mark, and a date letter signifying the year of production.

An antique silver basket serves effectively as a centerpiece on a dining table or console, and can function as a vanity holder for small jewellery pieces or keys.

Remove the glass insert to wash it separately in warm soapy water, and polish the silver frame gently using a specialised silver polishing cloth to maintain its sheen.
