Title: Stuart and Sons 11inch amber glass basket.
Post by: brucebanner on February 19, 2015, 02:10:55 PM

Having won this on Ebay described as a " Murano glass basket" (for next to nothing) I was thrilled to find it in Mervyn Gullivers Victorian Decorative Glass on the front insert, it a huge detailed piece of glass and weighs 2.8kg.

I thought it worth a show on here incase someone every has anything similar etc.

It's in mint condition.

It's 11 inches in height and 9 1/4 inches across the rim at the widest point.

Regards Chris.

I have a similar Stuart vase.  They are the most beautifully made and stunning top quality glass aren't they?

It would be good to have a Victorian decorative glass section, some of it is really well made and I bet there are some really rare pieces out there no one ever gets to see as they sit in collections for years.
