Intricate floral, reeds and bird pattern on rim 
Crane in water with reeds in the domed center.
In excellent condition for age with just some loss to the plate in Center and on the handle.

These baskets were carried by the flower girl with petals in them and then set up on a table for the reception either with the Brides flowers in it or tea cakes.
Maker mark dates this piece to 1840-1855. Very rare piece!
Great wedding gift or birthday piece for a serious collector
