Circa 1915 “Bonnet” Glass Basket

Circa 1915 “Bonnet” Glass Basket
 
This elegant bonnet basket dates to the early 1900s, when fine American glass houses were producing refined giftware for well-appointed homes. The soft grey-lavender cast comes from manganese in the glass — a beautiful hallmark of pre-World War I production.
 
The flared rim and graceful arched handle give it a distinctive silhouette reminiscent of a lady’s Edwardian bonnet.
 
A timeless decorative accent for florals, wrapped sweets, or displayed as the art object it truly is.
