The item shown is a handled "Novelty Basket" in Blue Opalescent.
This is an early piece made by an English company called Sowerby Glass in Gateshead.
The early company catelog below shows the illustration of this piece made in 1882. These pieces may
have the English Peacock trademark or date lozenge pressed in the glass. Because this piece is not known
or shown in any reference books, I'm giving it the name Flower & Rib.
