Hand Wrought Aluminum Basket by Rodney Kent Vintage Candy Dish

This vintage basket was made by one of the most sought-after makers of aluminum ware - Rodney Kent. Kent was not a person, but a name for a line of hand hammered pieces sold by Krischer Giftware. Some collectors restrict their collections to Kent pieces only because of the high quality of the line. This is a cute basket, but known as a "candy dish", No. 429. It has an engraving on the inside of three tulips in a spray tied with a ribbon. The design can also be seen on the reverse, on the base of the dish. The handle features four-petal flowers in a ribbon string with bows at each end. Size: 7 1/8 in. long x 5 3/4 in. wide x 4 1/4 in. high. The height of production for Rodney Kent was in the 1940's. On the base is the mark, "Hand Wrought Creations / Rodney Kent / 429". I have not polished the basket - I have left that to the buyer. In very good vintage condition with no dents.
