Condition Report
The basket appears in quite a tarnished state and would benefit from a clean and polish. General surface wear, marks and scratches. Also some dints and creases. There is a break in the metal of the rim. Further small holes and splits in the applied decoration. Some visible solder repairs. Hallmarks are a little rubbed but still legible and the maker's mark partly distorted. Heavy blue glass liner likely a replacement.
