Rare Antique Pincered Openwork Crystal Glass Basket
19th Century, and possibly earlier ... wonderful PINCERED OPENWORK CLEAR GLASS BASKET. It was likely made in Italy, but other countries made Facon de Venise glass ("in the Venetian style"), as well. Good fortune presents the piece with no breaks at all.

Two Applied handles are each decorated with large raspberry prunts; the 1/2" thick base is well polished, creating a large concave center, although the original pontil mark may still be seen within the slight cavity. There is much, age confirming wear to the base. We tried to capture it for you with our several photos of the base, but none of them is adequate to show the considerable, natural wear marks.

It measures about 8-3/4" from handle-to-handle, 7-3/4" rim diameter, 5" foot diameter, and 4-1/2" tall.

This rare and lovely creation is a must for the serious collector of exceptional glass. Exact age and origin unknown. Free US Shipping.
