Antique Victorian Brides Basket Art Glass Attributed to Phoenix Swirl Design

This is a beautiful swirling design, ribbed, ruffled bowl done in a unique oblong shape. The bowl is done in a satin finish with a subtle shading from ruby to opalized crystal. We attribute this bowl to Phoenix glass. The swirl pattern was a technique that was patented in this country by Webb while he was working at Phoenix. The basket its self measures 12″ long by 7 1/2″ wide. The basket rests securely in a marked, ‘Derby’ frame. The frame holder is marked, ‘Quadruple plate – Derby Silver Co. – Derby, CT – 3253’. The holder is decorated with leaves and berries and the base has a wavy design to the pedestal base for a unique appearance. This is a quality piece of art glass that is in excellent all original condition. We are thrilled to be able to offer this fine piece of American Art Glass for sale. Overall height is 8″ high, 15″ wide to the handles, and 7 1/2″ wide.
