This vintage clear cut-glass handled basket presents classic decorative craftsmanship with timeless elegance. The bowl features a scalloped, sawtooth-style rim and deeply pressed or cut paneling that creates strong light refraction and crisp definition throughout the glass. A finely molded handle rises from the rim, displaying a feathered or leaf-like relief pattern that adds sculptural character and visual balance.
Around the body, frosted and etched fruit motifs—grapes, pears, and leaves—are framed within patterned panels, while the base displays a radiant starburst or hobstar design. The combination of clear brilliance, frosted detailing, and structured geometry reflects traditional European or American decorative glassmaking influences commonly associated with Bohemian, Polish, or mid-century pressed-glass production.
This piece functions beautifully as a fruit bowl, bridal centerpiece, or display basket, offering both decorative presence and practical form. The glass appears clean and bright, with no visible cracks or structural damage noted in the provided images. A classic collectible example of vintage handled decorative glassware, suitable for display, entertaining, or collection.
