Arts & Crafts Silver Basket, 1923 by A E Jones

This is a beautiful arts & crafts silver basket made by A E Jones.

This good-sized basket is quatrefoil in shape, stands on four pillar supports and has a swing handle with central floral motif. The gallery around the rim is attractively pierced and the whole piece retains spot hammer marks from the hand-making process. Ideal for displaying fruit or cakes, this is one of AE Jones's most sought after designs and this example is in excellent condition with clear Birmingham hallmarks.
