Made for the House of Walton, this basket retains its original foil label: "Made for the House of Walton, 24% PbO Lead Crystal by annahutte." The handle is cut with large X's; the feet curl elegantly at the base. A substantial, heavy piece with the kind of presence that earns a permanent spot on a table.
Perfect as a centerpiece, a candy dish, a catch-all by the door, or a gift for anyone who appreciates the quiet authority of fine European crystal.
Anna Hutte — connected to Nachtmann Bleikristall — was in widest production from 1945 to 1990, part of the postwar boom in Bavarian lead crystal manufacturing that made West Germany one of the world's leading sources of fine cut crystal giftware; pieces in this condition, still carrying their original retailer labels, are increasingly hard to find.
