    While multiple other Manufacturers made these miniature glass baskets the 2 most prolific you will find are Duncan Miller and Westmoreland Glass Co.
    Westmoreland Glass Co. & Duncan Miller Basket handles were applied to the basket and joined at the top middle. Duncan Miller held the patent for the applied handles and you will often find an "In Mold" Mark of PAT'D on the inside base.
    As the mold wore out this mark will become very faint at times. Both companies produced them with very clear quality glass and with wheel cut decoration motifs.
    It appears that Westmoreland first made their baskets c. 1921 and for many decades with different glass treatments and motifs.
