<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 22907, member: 111"]Can't recall seeing 'Bride's Basket' in period publications until a few years into the 20th century, and then they're tall flower baskets - but it's become a great marketing term for any old silver basket that may have been a nice wedding gift. Those with glass inserts were usually intended for berries or fruit, this is a cake basket, late 19th-early 20th century - it wouldn't have had a glass liner, especially with the curved-in lip and interior engraving.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
