This is a Pilgrim Art Glass Basket. I did find some with labels a few years ago. I had also found this info on it:
"The flowing lines of Pilgrim's crystal basket, catalog #206, bring out the liquidity of glass, especially the two sides where the glass was pulled up and curved to make the handle of the basket, showing as well the Italian feel for glass provided by designer Roberto Moretti...."
Thanks for stopping / looking / and LOVING !!

Just wanted to add that I received an email from a Relative that did say these were made by Pilgram Glass. It appears that the OTHER ones are a "Reproduction" of this design made in China.
Jeneric, does yours have some yellowish looking color in yours? As mine DOES have a yellowish color to it?? It appears the BRIGHT crystal clear like baskets ARE ( REPRODUCTIONS ) from china. Mine that I have posted here has both lots of wear on the bottom, and also has a yellow color tinge to it. So bascially if it might have a yellow tinge to it, and lots of wear on the base -- It may be Vintage Pilgram Art Glass. If it is CRYSTAL CLEAR, NO WEAR.....most likely a new piece ( reproduction) from China.
NOW --- This is the email I received from their family:
"" That was a production piece made by various workers including Roberto and Mario...........Yes; I can confirm the last line “Pilgrim Glass either made by production line ( mario / Roberto ). I am Alessandro Moretti’s daughter; my mother just passed away during hurricane Irma; so am busy with funeral arrangements........"
==========
So I just wanted to pass this on as that is what I received from their family. I Had sent Pics of MY Glass Basket to them.
It was also brought to my knowledge that ANIK had posted on a FB site about this, and my ( and others attributions ) on it. I was openly condemed on that FB post by ANIK and that I am all wrong. If anyone wishes to see what what said about me ----- I have a *copy* of Anik post on FB and her directing people to CW ..... and I guess to wonder about their CW members knowledge there ( meaning ME ). Sad that one would do that to CW also !!!!
So -- I am going with what the realtives of these PILGRAM GLASS MAKERS confirmed to me, straight from the horses mouth. God Bless them during this sad time in losing a relative in Hurricane Irma, and for even taking the time to talk to me. Again I thank them !!
So prehaps Anik can apologize to me here, and there for her words. Appear they were directed straight at me. Thanks
Anyways -- baskets like mine were made by Pilgram Glass ( Confirmed ) .... and new crystal clear ones ARE CHINA. So as the old story goes in glass -- Check the wear too.
Mine soes have a little yellow tinge but not much wear on the bottom.
Well from my understanding yours maybe Pilgram then, as said the older ones have a slight yellow to them. New are more clear like crystal itself
I have a Piece of murano glass here with label, and it hardly has any wear on it. Might just sat in the same place in a china cabinet for years....then I have pieces ( old glass ashtray ) with so much wear -- but then it was probably moved around lots and used lots. I think myself, it is has a bit of a yellow tinge to it it is Piligram glass...as these baskets were made by them ( so the family said ). Again what I saw of the China reproductions were very clear glass.
Also noted it is documented on the Web and read that on-line ) that the China baskets are * Reproductions* ..... so must be reproductions of piligram glass You can see in my pics the yellow tinge. Thanks Jeneric, I worked hard on this to get a bottom line
