This is an early Duncan Miller basket. It has a pressed pattern that looks like Magnolia-Oleander but has a copper wheel cut 8 petal flower on each side. There is a star pattern in the bottom, a distinctive "feather" glass handle and is marked PAT'D in the inside bottom. There are a few air bubbles, as is typical in early glass, 3 in a row close to the surface low on the handle, 2 of which are broken. Also small straw marks. Still an impressive basket! DUM-B02
