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.

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.
