Miniature Glass Brides Basket Duncan Miller Green Vaseline Depression Glass

Description

Miniature Glass Brides Basket Duncan Miller Green Vaseline Depression Glass
I believe this glass basket is Duncan Miller Glass Co.
with the vertical panels surrounding the basket. 4 part mold. Applied handle.
The basket measures 2-1/4" tall, with handle 5-3/4" tall.
No chips, cracks or hairlines.
FYI-All of these baskets are from my personal collection of over 30 years and each sold separately.
The last photo is all of them grouped together just to show off my small collection. The collection was much larger before we downsized the first time. Now these need to go to good homes where they will be loved. I think they make lovely gifts for a bride to hand out to her Maid of Honor or Bride Maids.
Glass Brides Basket Trivia: While multiple other Manufacturers made these miniature glass baskets the 2 most prolific you will find are Duncan Miller and Westmoreland Glass Co.
Westmoreland Glass Co. & Duncan Miller Basket handles were applied to the basket and joined at the top middle.
Duncan Miller held the patent for the applied handles and you will often find an "In Mold" Mark of PAT'D on the inside base.
As the mold wore out this mark will become very faint at times.
Both companies produced them with very clear quality glass and with wheel cut decoration motifs.
It appears that Westmoreland first made their baskets c. 1921 and for many decades with different glass treatments and motifs.
Duncan's early years the handles were applied but later years they perfected a process where the basket and the handles were one piece.
Duncan's "Tavern" pattern introduced in the early 1900s and is distinguished with 6 horizontal threads of glass circling the basket.
Both companies used a 4 part mold found in the older baskets. A couple of newer Westmoreland baskets are 2 part molds.
