Viking Glass produced the Epic handkerchief line during the mid-twentieth century at their New Martinsville, West Virginia factory, where artisans hand-pulled each ruffled edge to ensure no two pieces were exactly identical. The striking contrast between the deep amethyst glass base and the crystal-clear applied handle is a signature technique of the era's decorative art glass movement. This particular basket shape captures the playful yet sophisticated ethos of 1960s American tabletop styling.
