Would be grateful if anyone recognises this basket, my folks had this as Sowerby 1880s Pattern book but I cannot find it anywhere. Thanks Mike

Looks like a Greener handle to me. Check for a registration where the handle joins the basket

Thanks Christine, cannot see or feel a lozenge near the handle or see a number around the edge.
Thanks Mike
