Description
Exquisite handmade pink glass basket by Dereume Glass. This vintage piece features a classic ribbed or optic bowl design with an elegantly arched applied handle. The soft pink hue is reminiscent of Depression-era Rosaline glass, but the construction and foil label identify it as a high-quality American hand-blown piece from the late 20th century. Perfect for spring decor, easter displays, or as a vanity catch-all.
Key Features
Features the rare original foil maker's sticker; handmade in the USA (Punxsutawney, PA); desirable 'Bridle Basket' shape; feminine pink colorway.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'D' logo blue and gold foil sticker is the primary identifier for Dereume Glass. The rougher texture of the handle application confirms hand-blown technique over pressed glass reproductions.
Flaws to Note
No significant flaws visible. Check closely for 'flea bites' on the rim or handle attachment points where the glass was applied.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (for vintage/handmade focus), eBay (for collectors), and Facebook Marketplace (to avoid shipping fragile glass).
Selling Tips
Photograph against a clean white background with natural light to show the pink clarity. Use keywords: 'Vintage Pink Glass Basket', 'Dereume Glass Punxsutawney', 'Hand Blown Art Glass', 'Grandmillennial Decor'. Double box for shipping to ensure the handle does not snap during transit.
