Nice green Murano Basket (circa please)
« on: April 08, 2008, 11:58:09 PM »
Nice Green Basket.
                          This basket as a open leaf type rim with a touching handle which you are able to get a thin piece of paper though clear glass with green running though it, not Uranium.

i am leaning to murano because of the base which as 5 pinched feet and a smooth pontil, the basket stands 7ins high, handle to handle is 4.5ins and the length from middle leaf to middle leaf is 7.5ins this basket is in mint condition, as far as year i am thinking from 1950s to 1970s but of cause need your kind help to make sure as always, most appreciated,

I wouldn't have said Murano myself, perhaps Czech

I agree with Christine, not Murano.

Hi Anne E B
                like the pink basket will look loverly one on your arm and one on mine when we are out ;D, looks like we have different opinions.
On if it Czech or if it's Murano, we will just have to hope one of us manage to come across a bit of luck that can pin point it a bit better or of cause we may never know,
                                   cheers
