    Description

    OVERVIEW
    Vintage item
    This exceptionally large basket was hand woven of ash splints. The very talented basket maker used dyed green and red weavers made into curls in two bands around the circumference, which is 44 inches at its widest. The basket stands 11 inches tall, is 16 1/2 inches across the top and has a base diameter of about 11 inches. The mouth is slightly oval, measuring 9 inches by 9 1/2 inches, and is large enough to pop in a vase of flowers---fresh, silk, or dried as we have done---or a leafy potted plant. It's hand initialed in ink on the bottom 'J.n.' and dated '96.'
    Ash splints are flexible and those used in this basket, which have a slightly greenish tone, remain pliant. There are a few curls that are broken off on the lower band, shown in our photograph; the ones on the upper band are all intact. The basket is in otherwise excellent condition, with no other breaks, no stains and the colors of the dyed splints still lovely. Its imposing size alone makes it a focal point in any room.
