I found this at a garage sale and thought it to be just beautiful, I do not know anything about it. This basket cut glass of some kind is diamond cut looks like and it stands about 12" to 14" in height.
This basket is pressed glass and is a reproduction of McKee's Innovation No. 410, made by L.E. Smith ca. 1970s/80s. Smith made it in many transparent and frosted colors.
Smith is still selling versions of this basket and call it Heritage T-Shaped
Thank you so much, as I have tried to find out many times and just could not fine one like it. Spent many hours on the computer searching. Thank you Paul, and Thank you TallCakes. I have a few more old pieces of things collected from over 50 years will post some soon.
Thanks,
Joan
TC, do you know who is operating Smith? I thought the factory closed in June 2010.
Paul, I just check their online catalog from time to time; on the about me page it says William Kelman is the new owner and states that their glass is made is USA.
