Antique Victorian Cased Glass Brides Basket and Monarch Silver Co. Holder

  

The cased glass insert has a ruffled and uniquely crimped rim and clear glass edge. It is decorated with stylized rococo raised enamel scrolls and florets. I suspect late 1800s Mount Washington or Bohemian, possibly Harrach. The basket is in excellent condition with no chips, fleabites, cracks, repairs, or scratches.

It has a ground pontil and is 11 1/4 inches in diameter. The basket fits tightly in the holder. I cannot be sure that the holder is original to the glass, but it works well. The holder is hallmarked Monach Silver Co. Triple 467 has 4 feet and ornate decorations.

One of the four handle supports has become disconnected and needs to be reattached (see last photo). There is also a spoon holder at the top of the handle.

The holder stands 11 inches high to the top of the handle.
