APPRAISER COMMENTS:
This appears to be a Victorian milk and green art glass Brides
bowl, with handpainted floral decoration. Brides bowls or baskets were
usually one-of-a-kind novelties made in just about every color of art
glass by American and European glass factories. Many baskets have
silver-plated stands and handles. They were especially popular about
1880, when the decorated basket was often given as a wedding gift. Cut
glass baskets were popular after 1890. Bride’s baskets lost favor about
1905.
