I have seen this basket pattern a few times before in opaque white glass – always unmarked.

Here are some photos of an example in purple marbled glass – unfortunately, also unmarked.

Unattributed manufacturer so far, but at a guess dating any time from the late 1870s through to about 1890.

Fred.
