LE Smith Ruffled Glass Basket

Crafted in the United States during the 1950s, this LE Smith Glass basket reflects the artistry and charm that made mid-century American glassware so enduring. Marked SGC on the base, it was produced by the Smith Glass Company, a maker celebrated for its pressed glass patterns and elegant, functional designs.

This centerpiece basket features gracefully ruffled edges, an oval form, and a sturdy arched handle. The clear pressed glass catches the light beautifully, adding sparkle and depth whether displayed empty or filled with flowers, fruit, or decorative objects.

More than a vessel, this piece embodies the heritage of American glassmaking in the postwar era, when companies like LE Smith created timeless designs meant to be both practical and decorative. Its balanced proportions and classic silhouette make it a perfect accent for today’s homes — whether styled on a dining table, sideboard, or as part of a vintage glass collection.
