This art glass basket features a whimsical top-hat silhouette and a sharp, prismatic texture, offering a playful aesthetic for curated tabletop displays. 

Rendered in Fenton’s iconic "Colonial Green," this mid-century piece utilizes the classic Daisy and Button pattern to catch and refract light across its multi-faceted surface. The design is a charming subversion of a formal top hat, inverted and topped with a high, graceful handle that transforms a masculine accessory into a delicate vessel for spring flowers or festive sweets.

The deep olive hue is a staple of 1960s American glasswork, providing a grounded, earthy tone that complements both traditional and eclectic interiors. Unlike the more common miniature hat toothpick holders, this 7-inch basket version serves as a true statement piece, showcasing the clarity and weight of Fenton’s pressed glass. Whether styled on a sunlit windowsill or used as a unique candy dish during a holiday gathering, its marriage of Victorian novelty and mid-century color remains a reverent nod to American glass-making history.

This item is vintage, approximately 60 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
