This vintage L.E. Smith Moon & Stars basket captures the brilliance of mid-century American pressed glass design. Rendered in a rich amber tone, the piece features the instantly recognizable Moon & Stars pattern wrapping the bowl in repeating raised orbs and starburst motifs. The split-handle form adds both function and sculptural elegance, creating a piece that displays beautifully from every angle whether resting on a shelf, table, or vanity.
Light passing through the amber glass gives this basket a warm golden glow, emphasizing the crisp pattern detail and the starburst design pressed into the base. It is a classic example of L.E. Smith’s production from the 1960s–1970s era, a period celebrated by collectors for bold colors and distinctive pattern work. This piece remains unmarked, consistent with most authentic L.E. Smith production.
Condition is very good vintage, with no cracks or repairs observed. Exact measurements are shown clearly in the accompanying photos and should be referenced for sizing. A timeless collectible that functions as a candy dish, trinket basket, or standalone decorative accent, it adds instant vintage character to any space.
