Vintage Pressed Glass Basket with Fluted Rim and Twisted Handle

This is a small decorative basket made of pressed glass, likely dating from the mid-20th century. The piece is approximately 6 to 8 inches in height, featuring a wide, scalloped, and fluted rim that mimics the texture of a real woven basket or a blooming flower. A prominent, high-arched 'twisted' handle is fused to the sides, displaying a textured rope-like pattern. While clearly transparent, the glass exhibits a slight yellowish-green tint, which strongly suggests it may contain uranium (often called Vaseline glass), though this would need to be confirmed with a UV light. The base is circular with a starburst or radial pattern molded into the bottom for stability and aesthetic appeal. The construction shows typical signs of vintage manufacturing, including visible mold seams. The item appears to be in good vintage condition with no large cracks or chips visible, though minor flea bites or manufacturing bubbles may be present upon close inspection. The craftsmanship is typical of high-volume glass manufacturers from the 1940s-1960s, designed for utility and modest decoration.
