Thank you! I will look that up. The lady I got it from said it was from the 1930's. She was 91 maybe knowing a possible era will help?

Hi Keith, been looking at Chribska. I think the handles and colors look similar but I cannot find a base like mine. I don't know anything about chribska or chalet glass. I usually deal in American glass. Thank you so much an please don't give up on me.

Murano I think, but 50s/60/70s not 1930s. This one has similar characteristics and I know it's Murano, as I found a labelled one.

Is it possible to be a Carlo Scarpa? I found one on usa ebay with a label that looks like mine. Base, color distribution, and form look excellent.
Fingers Crossed because my eyes are from searching  ;)

The basket looks like Murano glass that was made during the 1960s. Import companies, e.g. Jordan's Import, had many baskets that looked similar to this.
