best date estimate 1951-1961
You'll love this BEAUTIFUL Depression glass basket! It is made of clear circle-patterned glass with an attached...melted-on handle. This is a bullseye pattern...but called Thousand Eye by the maker...L.E.Smith Company. I've done a ton of research to correctly identify this basket...because I saw it listed in various ways and I wanted to get it right! It is NOT the Bellaire 1890 basket that others are confusing it with and is not as valuable...obviously. But this basket IS vintage...dating back to mid-century...and is in perfect condition! I've included below two of the items I found in my research...the last one is from the replacements site which I consider to be invaluable.
The basket measures approx 9 1/2" in height by 11" and 5".
NOTE: Tom Felt - L. E. Smith Glass Company No. 1087 Thousand Eye, ca. 1951-1961
NOTE: Pattern often confused with Bellaire Glass No. 91 AKA: Giant Bullseye
