This bowl or basket w/ handle was designed by Don Shepperd. It is the 1984 West Virginia Birthday Piece - this is one of the more difficult ones to find. Perhaps the handle makes it more fragile, or perhaps because it is so lovely - it just isn't often on the market. This piece like all Birthday Pieces is signed by BLENKO and also the designer, it is numbered.
The basket (some call this a ladies bonnet) is crystal with a blue ribbon. At our home we use this basket to float fresh cut flowers - placed in the center of our table for special occasions. hjh
