Exquisite antique Victorian art glass basket attributed to the renowned firm of Stevens & Williams of Stourbridge, England. This hand-blown piece features a striking pink cased glass body with a milky opalescent "white crest" ruffled rim.

The basket is adorned with a meticulously detailed, high-relief applied flower in an alabaster/white tone with an amber center. Extending from the flower is an intricate green glass stem that winds around the body, leading to a stunning "twisted rope" or freeform handle. The handle and applied stem are crafted from uranium glass, exhibiting a vivid neon green glow under 395nm UV/blacklight.
