Of the shapes with this 'fern and stipple' decoration, there is no basket in the design shown specifically in the 1880-1890 catalogues.
The celery vase is definitely shown as 137.
The sugar & creamer appear as '137 & 138 (two sizes)'. Whether that means that the creamer is 137 and the sugar 138 (and there are 2 sizes of each) OR that the smaller size of sugar AND creamer are both 137, OR that the larger size of sugar and creamer are both 138 - I'm not sure.
The same applies to the butter, which also appears as '137 & 138 (two sizes).
The spill vase seems to pattern 138. It's not shown specifically in the 1880-1890 catalogues, but is labelled as '138' on page 20 of 'Davidson Glass - a history' by Chris and Val Stewart.
