This is a really cute design from Westmoreland Glass that is super nice for Easter. Unfortunately it is white milk glass, which is not a personal favorite. Westmoreland made only this size and shape, which is a shame because it is pretty and appealing. According to my books they made it almost every color of glass and some two-tone treatments. All we have seen are the white milk glass.
I bought the first basket in my first year of business and sold it on eBay immediately. So the next time we found one, we bought it, and the one after that, too. This was about the time that eBay became a household word and the floodgates opened on collectible glass. Everyone had something in their cupboards and almost everyone decided to sell it! Pansy baskets littered the auctions and you could hardly give them away. Prices plummeted below what we paid.
Now, several years later, I'm listing all sorts of glass that we need to move out. OK, it won't return what we paid and we'll lose on each item. But that has to be better than hanging onto it and keeping our investment tied up in bad inventory!
This means that if you are looking for a nice Easter basket, hop on over to our store and our eBay auctions and take a look at these.
