Antique Russian 875 purity silver gilt lined basket. The markings have Russian letters on one side and 875 with a portrait head on the other. Please enlarge pictures to see the details of the hallmarks. There is a portrait head marking along the border on the bottom. I have taken detailed pictures of all the markings so you can clearly see the markings. The basket is in excellent pre-owned condition with only one small ding along the outside border. The gold is very bright and vibrant. The basket handle folds down on either side. Height with the basket handle extended is 4 inches. Height without the handle extended is 2-1/4 inches. Diameter at the top of the basket is 3-7/8 inches. The diameter of the basket at the middle is 4-1/4 inches. The border of the basket and the handle have a detailed design. Weight 6 troy ounces.
