Fleur De Lis Basket Floral Etched Silver Encrusted 13in Torte Plate Beautiful basket etch shows flowers spilling over the sides and sprays of flowers and leaves with silver encrustation or silver oerlay. This is a very interesting piece because the blank is Double Fleur De Lis, or Pattern #607, made in 1939 by Indiana Glass! Blank has fleur de lis pattern on the top edge and near the center, and has scalloped edges. (Thanks to Gene Florence's Pattern Identification Book Volume 3 for blank identification.) The design is very like Cambridge's Portia, and may be a Duncan Miller etch.

Silver encrustation is heavy and in very good condition on the basket design. The rim has a heavy band of silver overlay. There is one place on the side of the rim where a half inch piece of silver came off when this was washed.

Plate is 13 inches in diameter and is footed. Plate is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks.
