DescriptionThe ornamental vessel is blown in the shape of a Victorian flower basket with a trumpet-shaped body, the opposing sides of the rim pushed inwards, to which a straight vertical handle is applied. A large solid circular foot is applied to the base, cut below with a star. The elongated stem of the basket is cut with four rows of three convex dots in a vertical arrangement. A band of cut convex circles encircles the outside of the rim. A floral spray is engraved beneath the handle and a faceted band embellishes the upper body of the bowl.
