The basket is a type that generally has a Lavorazione Arte Murano label or sometimes a Crystal Clear label. The glass pieces that have these different labels look very similar to me. They also often have a Made in Italy label. I am not sure if these pieces are made in Murano, but they are Italian if the labels are correct.
The ashtray looks like Murano glass to me, but I couldn't make a guess at the maker.

I have a bowl that has the same ground base and somehow reminds me of the basket label reads vetro eseguito secondo lateknica dei maestro di MURANO . kerryn

The basket looks very modern. I saw an Italian site recently with very similar new things

the bowl i have that is similar style to the basket was bought this year from a well known store and was very cheap but pretty.
