This is a 19th century English art glass hand blown small bowl, basket or boat, with four applied feet, and one applied handle. The dish looks like a footed bath tub with an end handle. The age is circa 1895. The region is probably Stourbridge.

You can see a similar dish and its description in the book “Victorian Decorative Glass British Designs, 1850-1914” by Mervyn Gulliver, on pages 29 and 206.

The author describes the rim edge as “cut vertically and sections thus created turned up and down and twisted to create stylized rustic profile.”

Additionally, the author writes, “A small dish manufactured c 1895. The edge of the rim is cut and twisted into a random pattern, and gilded. The pale ruby glass body is supported on four rustic pattern stub feet. …”

This dish is 5 ¾” long, 4” wide and 2 ½” high.

The handle is amber. The stub feet are also gilded. There is no enameling on the inside of the bowl.

The pontil on the underside is round and ground smooth.

There are quite a few air bubbles. The glass on the inside of the bowl feels a bit rough to the touch of the fingers in some areas, and I think it may be some ash or other substance caught up in the glass forming process. On the handle, where the lower ends are applied to the end of the bowl, the lower right tip appears to be broken off.
