I just picked up this satin glass basket, which I believe to be Fenton. Trouble is, I can't find it in any of my reference books. Any help would be appreciated.

Very curious.
The grape pattern is typically Imperial, but the cased glass, basket form, and handle join are typical of Fenton.
Earlier Fenton products had paper labels. More recent ones have the oval embossed mark.
Fenton's output is huge, so you may never find this in a book.

that just does not look like Fenton to me. their glass has a very identifiable look to it. it is a very pretty cased glas basket and should do very well, i just don't think it is Fenton.

look at the inside of your basket and see if it has a W with an M over the W. The basket looks like Westmoreland. Their mark is very hard to see. They very seldom mark the bottom only the inside bottom...

Went into check westmoreland milk glass baskets and everyone of the auctions are invalid. There was one with a grape pattern but that was invalid also. They all look like the same seller by the way the auction title sounded but poof no auctions.

I am a long time Fenton collector, and I don't believe it is Fenton. It looks like Kanawa to me. That is another West Virginia company that is now out of business. Hope this helps!

BINGO!!
Thanks for the input everyone, Dazedandconfused hit it on the head. I went to Kanawha auctions and found several variations of the basket. They don't seem to bring much, so I guess I'll put it in the mall.
Thanks again
