Marked Blue Milk Glass Whimsey Basket
« on: March 07, 2013, 10:01:46 PM »
I know this is not much...a small whimsey basket, 4" length, 2 1/2" height & 2" width, however it is marked & under magnification is looks as if its a peacock? or some type bird with head feathers & a long tail. Does anyone possibly recognize this mark?  Thanks, Ken
