Bohemian Art Glass Basket-Cased Pink w Twist Handle-Hand Blown-Victorian Style

Description: My strong belief is that this basket originated in the Bohemia area of eastern Europe currently known as the Czech Republic. I have seen baskets similar to this which were produced in England and the United States back in the late 1800’s/early 1900’s. Usually these baskets are larger and more detailed than this particular piece. A unique and very cool glass basket!! This basket has a very interesting tooled ruffled rim as seen in the multiple pictures. The color is an opaque pink cased to an outer layer of white glass with a clear twisted handle attached on each side. The basket stands approximately 4 3/4” tall and measures 5 1/4” across the widest area. Thorough examination reveals no chips, cracks, damage or repairs. I will mentioned on one side where the twisted handle was applied and subsequently pinched or cut off there is a rough area which appears to be damage. I strongly believe this to be from production and not post factory damage. I also would like to mention for accuracy sake a tiny dark spot in the very bottom which appears to be foreign matter, occurred while the glass was still molten hot. A super example of classic art glass. Please view all pictures as they are considered part of the description. Please check back to my listings often as I will be posting numerous fine examples of glass, pottery and porcelain in the near future. Thank you.
