Description

Lovely ornately decorated silver plated cake basket with swinging handle. This tray is decorated with acanthus leaves & swirls. It has a moveable carry handle & stands on three bun feet. It is a good size for holding small cakes, such as scones, buns, muffins or cupcakes, but might also be used for holding sweets. It is perfect for an afternoon tea party or wedding. It is made in silver plate - as seen by the 'EPNS' stamp on the side. It is also stamped with 'Made in England' & 'Lancelot Plate'. Lancelot Plate has not been attributed to any particular silver plate manufacturer so we are unable to date & place this piece conclusively. Although somewhat Victorian/Edwardian in decorative style, it likely dates to the middle of the 20th century. It is in good condition. There are a few spots of tarnish & surface level scratches, concurrent with its age. Size: - 15cm high (with handle fully up) - 6cm (with handle down) -24.5cm wide -22.5cm deep Gift wrap -We wrap all items in complementary brown paper & string. I can also supply a complementary gift tag (see personalisation option). I can leave this blank for you to complete, or I can write in a gift inscription. All gift tags are 5 x 10 cm / 2 x 3.94 inch kraft paper tags to match the complementary wrapping paper. Packing -All items are simply wrapped in brown paper & string (because these are a few of my favourite things). The items are then carefully covered with several layers of bubble wrap before being placed in lined & padded cardboard boxes. -I try to source my packing materials as sustainably as possible. I reuse boxes, packing nuts & bubble wrap whenever I can. Any packing materials that I source outside this (such as bubble wrap or boxes) are biodegradable or recyclable. Postage -UK: Shipping is free to addresses within the UK. I use Royal Mail's 'Second Class Signed For' service for most items sent within the UK. These should arrive in a few days but do get in touch if you would like quicker shipping. Orders too large for this will be sent by another delivery agency, such as Parcelforce 48 hour. -EU/International: For orders outside the UK, I use Royal Mail's 'International Tracked & Signed' which gives you peace of mind & allows you to track your item. Get in touch with me if you would like to combine postage. -Check out my FAQs for more details on postage. Vintage Silver Plate Cake Basket With Handle/Serving Tray Afternoon Tea Bon Dish Sweet
