Blue opalescent glass basket with coin dot pattern and applied clear glass handle

This decorative glass basket exemplifies the American art glass tradition that flourished from the late 19th through the 20th century. The coin dot pattern, created by trapping air bubbles between layers of glass, became particularly popular in the mid-20th century and was produced by several American glass manufacturers including Fenton Art Glass Company. The opalescent blue coloring and ruffled rim are characteristic of Victorian-era glass aesthetics that remained popular throughout the 1900s. These charming glass baskets appeal to collectors of American art glass, vintage home décor enthusiasts, and those who appreciate handcrafted glasswork. The coin dot pattern and opalescent finish make these pieces highly sought after in the decorative glass collecting community. Such baskets are valued for their delicate craftsmanship, nostalgic appeal, and ability to serve as both functional and decorative pieces in vintage and cottage-style interiors.
