Condition Report
The basket appears in fairly good overall condition, displaying some general wear, surface scratches, marks and tarnishing in keeping with the age and use. A couple of slight knocks around the foot rim, also to handle and lid. The lid appears to be a good fit although likely assayed in Birmingham rather than Chester. The hallmarks are clear and legible, slight rubbing to maker's mark.
