Title: Antique glass basket with twisted crystal rope. cranberry(?) color. Fenton?
Post by: malrix on October 27, 2014, 05:23:24 PM

I am thinking that the raspberry like attachment point from the rope is a style of some specific manufacturer.  I came up with the color based on other listings I have seen.  Any thoughts or opinions would be great!  Thank you!

That pic is so huge that its all a blur and can`t see detail !!  Can you resize them and post to this site !! They are too big as is !!  When you click on the reply, then click additional options it will give the size pics for this site !!  Then we can enlarge them if needed !!

Similar in ways but not exactly.  I dont see other examples with a twisted rope.  I am also looking at the pattern where the rope has been attached (does that mean something??)

Pics are great !!  Thanks all !!  Does not look like anything from Fenton I have seen !! That handle attachment looks like a group of berries !!

Hope it helped loading the pics Malrix!  :)

I would identify this as cranberry glass from what I see of the picture.

There are a few of them in varying patterns !! Check the ones here !! I am on dial up so you can check faster than me !! Fenton is listed on the pitcher !!  Couldn`t see the maker on the first three !!

Take a look at this one....Same handle design and attachment but different base shape.

That cranberry swirl one looks as close as it gets.  The marking at the base of the handle and the style are very similar.  I would bet on that being the same maker. Thanks for helping me!

I believe your basket is Chalet. They seem to have made a lot of stuff with berries and the like where the handle connects to the basket.
Here is one without the loop.

Try researching Stearns and Williams of London as well.  They were also known for their cranberry glass and clear rope handles ending with berry clusters.

BUT I do believe Joemg311 nailed it!  Thanks so much for your help/research!
