Vintage Ornate Embossed Floral Design Silver-Plated Basket with Handle

This beautiful vintage luxurious silver-plated item became popular in the 19th century as a more affordable alternative to solid silver, allowing a wider range of people to enjoy them as decorative tableware. These items were often used for serving sweets, fruits, or as decorative centerpieces.

This piece was made by QUIST which was a German manufacturer known for producing silver-plated items. Their "tarnish resistant" designation suggests a specific type of plating or finish applied to prolong its shine. Such baskets were common decorative and functional pieces in households during the post-war era, reflecting a taste for ornate yet practical home goods. A very nice collector's item and decorative piece of art.

Tarnish resistant footed basket with moveable handle.
