{"product_id":"the-topaz-victorian-hobbs-brides-basket","title":"The Topaz — Victorian Hobbs Bride's Basket","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the 1880s, when a couple married, someone gave them this. Bride's baskets were \u003cem\u003ethe\u003c\/em\u003e wedding gift of the Victorian era — an ornate glass bowl cradled in a silver-plated frame, made to sit at the center of a newlywed table and hold fruit, flowers, or simply the light. The Topaz comes from J.H. Hobbs, Brockunier \u0026amp; Co. of Wheeling, West Virginia, one of the great American glasshouses: their Hexagon Block pattern below, a hand-etched garland of flowers and leaves across the amber-flashed rim above, glowing topaz where the light comes through. Her frame carries the theme in metal — molded strawberries, vines, and leaves climbing the handle. Nearly a century and a half old, and she still stops the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eJ.H. Hobbs, Brockunier \u0026amp; Co., circa 1880–1890. Approx. 9\" to top of handle, 12\" wide (strawberry to strawberry).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAn original set — the bowl seats squarely in her frame with no rocking. Amber flashing vibrant and even; etching crisp; the frame's molded strawberries still sharp, never over-polished or re-plated. Condition like this, at her age, is the exception.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Made New Collective","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51177779691766,"sku":null,"price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/1110\/1430\/files\/IMG_0373.jpg?v=1783378851","url":"https:\/\/madenewcollective.com\/products\/the-topaz-victorian-hobbs-brides-basket","provider":"Made New Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
