This vintage hand-blown art glass basket features a sculptural freeform silhouette that immediately reflects the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic. Crafted from thick, clear crystal glass, the piece showcases fluid pulled lines and a distinctive split handle that curves inward, creating depth, movement, and visual balance from every angle. The weight and clarity of the glass give it a refined presence, whether viewed up close or displayed as part of a curated collection.
Pieces of this style are commonly associated with Murano-inspired Italian art glass and later mid-century studio production, including examples attributed to makers such as Action International LTD and Chalet Art Glass. Designed to blur the line between functional object and decorative sculpture, this basket has historically been used as a vase, candy dish, ashtray, or standalone display piece, making it versatile for both traditional and modern interiors.
Its organic form, polished finish, and timeless transparency allow it to complement a wide range of décor styles, from minimalist and modern to eclectic and vintage-focused spaces. A strong addition for collectors of art glass or anyone seeking a statement piece with authentic mid-century character.
