About the Item
An exceptionally fine & rare pair of George III Baskets in sizes made in London in 1777 by Charles Aldridge & Henry Green.
The Baskets are modelled in sizes. one being used for Sugar and the other for Cream. Both stand on a circular pedestal foot, which displays a beaded edge and which is engraved with a band of blue bell drops. The vase shaped main body is pierced with Neo Gothic archwork, horizontal pails, and roundels, in addition to engraved blue bell drop garlands and stylised flower heads in roundels. The main body rises to a beaded rim and arched beaded handle and displays a vacant circular cartouche. Both have blue glass liners and are in excellent condition. They are both, unusually, marked under the rim, around the circumference of the main body.
