Brides basket maker id

Is any able to id the maker of this. I think it's a brides basket correct me if I'm wrong. It does have a handle my pictures are just too large.Thanks

 

I don't think your glass bowl on silverplate frame were made to go together. A bride's basket bowl is not normally as vertical as this one. The original would have had more horizontal lines out and up from the base to follow the lines of the frame's structure.

 

welcome to the forum jinxer1978, that is a beautiful piece, and yes, a Brides Basket
Looks like the bottom of the bowl has a metal piece that fits into the stand? Bakers, I don't think there is a set size or shape for what we call Brides baskets (I could be wrong), but the large ones are usually what we see. I seem to think Brides Basket is a modern name for them?
here is some history on the company that made the stand - if you google Wilcox Brides Baskets you will see them in all shapes and sizes

Yes the glass part has a metal piece that slides into tge metal frame. Its for sure a set.

 

Welcome to the forums.

This is a late 19th century fruit/berry dish/bowl/basket - the popular 'bride's basket' name, used for silver and silverplate basket form pieces, with and without glass inserts, intended for cake, fruit, bon-bons, flowers, etc., is a 20th century term coming from the popularity of the items as wedding gifts, and if selling, it's certainly a good keyword. Believe the earliest I've run across an item actually described by a manufacturer as a 'bride's basket' was from the 1910s, and was a pierced silver flower basket intended for use at a wedding.

Just as a note, if your images are too big, would be better to resize them rather than crop out features like the handle (and noting the size of your item is often helpful). The glass was often imported from Bohemia, though English and American made glass was also used...
