RD 121985
A rare Greener & Co. loop-handled basket RD 121985 of 23 March 1889. The RD number is embossed inside the basket base or ‘bowl’. Measures approximately 18cms high x 14cms wide bowl with a 8cms diameter foot; weight 508 grams.
The basket base is decorated externally with a pattern of flowers and leaves against a stippled background, is topped with a reeded or gadrooned rim, and stands on a circular gadrooned foot. The loop handle is of rustic form.

I can’t recall ever seeing another example of this Greener & Co. design, and this particular item has the added distinction of being in a coloured glass the like of which I have never seen used for a Greener & Co. piece before. The overall impression is of an opaque glass of an orange-brown terracotta shade, but closer examination shows it actually to be a marbled glass with definite streaks ranging from almost sepia through reds and deep orange through to ochres.
