Executed in 24% lead crystal, this elegant basket features the highly detailed Queen's Lace pattern, also known among collectors as the 500 PK design. The traditional form is enhanced by an arched handle rising gracefully from the basket and showcases the exceptional cutting techniques for which Bohemian crystal is internationally recognized.

The basket displays the intricate craftsmanship associated with premium Czech crystal production. The deeply cut decoration includes a sixteen-point hobstar base surrounded by fan cutting and strawberry diamond motifs, while alternating lattice panels of finely executed cross-cut "lace" patterns and micro-starbursts create exceptional brilliance. The decorative pattern continues seamlessly into the handle, demonstrating the high level of hand craftsmanship characteristic of quality Bohemian production. The delicately scalloped rim remains well preserved, and the crystal retains excellent optical clarity.

Bohemian Queen's Lace crystal remains popular with collectors for its elaborate hand-cut decoration and traditional forms. Bride's baskets featuring the documented 500 PK pattern are particularly appreciated for their intricate cutting and enduring decorative appeal.
