Pink Depression glass basket with floral pattern by Fenton Glass

This pink glass basket was produced by the Fenton Art Glass Company, likely during the mid-20th century (1940s-1960s). The piece features a molded floral pattern typical of Fenton's production techniques, with a distinctive cranberry or dusty rose coloration achieved through the addition of gold or selenium compounds to the glass mixture during manufacturing. The basket design with its graceful handle was a popular form during this period of American glassware production. This type of decorative glassware is highly valued by collectors of Depression glass and mid-century American art glass for its delicate color and craftsmanship. Fenton pieces are particularly sought after since the company ceased production in 2011, making vintage examples increasingly scarce and desirable for both display and functional use in home decor.
