PG 11 Victorian Stevens and retailer Williams Thorn Handled Cased Glass Basket

Lovely 19th century Victorian retailer art glass thorn handled cased glass basket hand blown with a cut and polished pontil. This is a deeply folded edge basket and there are crimps in some of the folds. They are part of the manufacturing process, not damage. The basket is cased amber glass with pink interior and amber thorn handle. This is a very difficult piece to make with the different layers of glass and folds and this is a very nice example of Victorian cased art glass.
