This is likely a Fenton or Northwood blue opalescent glass bride's basket with a ruffled rim and a lattice or diamond optic pattern. These ornate centerpieces were popular in the Victorian era and again in the mid-20th century. The bowl sits in a decorative, often silver-plated, metal stand. Fenton Art Glass introduced its blue hobnail line in 1939, and the pattern is highly sought after by collectors. The opalescent blue color and specific pattern help identify the manufacturer, as both Fenton and Northwood produced similar pieces.
