Not a basket, as there's no handle. A comport or tazza for fruit or sweets. Perhaps late 19th/early 20th and my guess would be Bohemian

if you've not already done so cherryt, punch brides basket into the Board's search  -  from memory there should be quite a lot of info. from previous similar questions.        At least you will know what they are supposed to look like.
