This shows not only the quality but the age of the item and is truly antique of over 100 yrs old. This is NOT a reproduction! Forbes Silver Co. was established in 1894 as a part of the Meriden britannia Company. The department specialized in quadruple plating. Research these and you will find them selling for 300 to 1200$!!! The high value is really due to the galvanized metal underneath which most people don't realize. Some choose to replate these brides baskets. This one has some pitting but I think it gives it character and I personally would not replate yet. Not much elbow greese but more cleaning is needed like detailing as I will leave that joy up to the new owner :-). The floral edge makes it soooo pretty. The pictures do not do it a bit of justice! It is 9 3/8" tall. As with all items this is sold as is and no refunds as they are described to the best of my ability...look at the pictures.
