This basket measures 6" long x 6" high x 5" wide. It is pretty beat up, with one major crack and several chips to the ruffles on the basket. I usually wouldn't buy something so beat up, but it was only a few dollars and has some age to it, so I took the plunge. The bottom is ground flat and shows a lot of random scratching and the pontil is ground off, but roughly. Haven't cleaned it, yet. Today was an embarrassment of riches and I passed on several great items (large milk glass hobnail ruffle basket, large milk glass ruffled thumbprint bowl, large grape and vine banana boat, all under $5) as I just don't have a place to put them, but did pick up several amazing pieces, some of which I will show later, but need to cleanup and eat something first. Haven't tried to research this basket yet, but wanted to get it on CW, since I haven't found any Bohemian glass in a while.
Dang! Looks like scottvez already posted one of these!

Welz, both your basket and scott's! However scott posted his basket (7 year's ago) when far less was known about Welz than is known now. Craig Orkney's research has changed a lot!
Thanks, sklo42!
Thanks for loving my basket!
