Vintage Green Glass Art Nouveau Basket / Vase

This item is a charming vintage decorative basket-shaped vase, crafted from a vibrant, translucent lime green glass. It features a distinctive Art Nouveau or possibly Victorian Revival style, likely dating from the mid-20th century, though earlier manufacturing is possible given the style. The piece has a graceful, arched handle seamlessly integrated into the ruffled top rim of the basket. The rim itself is intricately ruffled with a wavy, irregular edge, adding to its ornate appearance. The body of the basket is bulbous at the base, tapering inward slightly towards the top, and is adorned with an embossed or molded floral and foliage pattern. This pattern showcases stylized leaves and possibly flowers, typical of the Art Nouveau aesthetic, creating a tactile and visual texture on the glass surface. On the interior base of the basket, there are two distinct embossed motifs, possibly leaves or abstract shapes, which are visible through the transparent green glass. The overall construction suggests it was likely molded glass, given the uniformity of the pattern and handle integration. The glass appears to be in good condition with no immediately visible chips, cracks, or significant damage, retaining its original glossy finish. There are no discernible maker's marks or signatures visible from the provided images. The color is consistent throughout, indicating a single pour or mold. Its smaller size suggests it might have been intended for small floral arrangements, trinkets, or as a decorative accent piece.
