This lovely miniature basket stands approximately 4 1/2" tall.
It measures 2 7/8" at the handle attachments (front to back),
and 3 1/4" across (side to side) on the top, open part of the basket bowl (rim).
The 'Rings' Miniature Basket in
RARE "Robin's Egg Blue" Art Glass with
"French Opalescent" on the rim of basket
bowl is a delicate color;
watch it sparkle in the sunlight!
No one made baskets like Fenton!
And one of the greatest
challenges for the skilled Fenton basket handlers was the creation of a
Fenton MINIATURE basket!
The 'Mini' baskets range in height from
3-3/4'' to 5''.
They will have the signature handler's mark on each side of
the handle,
just like the larger baskets.
Butch Wright is the handler with HIS 'MARK' on this creation!
Did you know?. . . It took the same amount of
teamwork and skill on
the part of Fenton artisan glassworkers
to create a Fenton "Mini"
basket
as it did to make a larger one!
THROUGH THE YEARS, NOT MANY MINIATURE BASKETS WERE PRODUCED FOR THE
Fenton Art Glass LINE!!!
Some handlers have even said it is MORE CHALLENGING to make the "mini",
because their hands
are so large in comparison to the basket they are handling.
