Lot 403:
Vintage Green Uranium Glass Basket with Ruffled Rim and Twisted Handle
Sold for: $35
Description
A small decorative basket crafted from translucent pale green glass. The object features a flared, trumpet-shaped body terminating in a ruffled rim with a delicate scalloped edge. A high-arched, applied handle with a twisted spiral design spans the top of the vessel. The basket is supported by a circular pedestal base. This piece is made of uranium glass, which is confirmed by its bright neon green fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet light. No manufacturer marks, signatures, or labels are present on the body or base of the item. The style and construction are characteristic of mid-20th-century American decorative glassware, resembling pieces produced by manufacturers such as Fenton, Westmoreland, or Mosser.
Condition report:
The basket is in good vintage condition. There is minor surface residue and light scuffing visible on the exterior of the body, which may be removed with cleaning. No chips, cracks, or previous repairs are visible upon inspection.
