BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC PINK OVERSHOT BASKET WITH A REALLY GREAT LIGHT BLUE FLORETTE WITH A SINGLE LIGHT BLUE LEAF AT THE CONNECTION POINT ON BOTH SIDES OF THE LOVELY RIBBED BASKET HANDLE. Even though this piece certainly has the look of a FRATELLI TOSO, I have not been able to find out if it is or not. It certainly seems to be a piece made in the Grangioli Murano Italy Art Glass Style, but has no label. The piece is in excellent, with no cracks, chips, flea bites, residue, or other damage that I am aware of. During the making of this piece, a void was made in the pink overshot between the overshot on the bottom and the clear base upon which the basket sets. The true test of crackle glass is whether or not it floresces in UVB light. The 4th photo shows this piece is brightly florescent in UVB light glowing in a brilliant florescent blue. The piece is exquisite, and would make a great addition to any Fratelli Toso collection, even though it may be other Italian Glassware, made during the same period during the 1950's. This wonderful Italian piece, at this price is a GREAT FIND.
