Large Ash Splint Basket with Wood Handle
This Basket Large Ash with Wood Handle will make an attractive storage container or addition to your basket collection. The basketmaker created this basket with natural ash wood splints. He or she incorporated Brown, Yellow and Green splints into the design. A wood handle makes it easy to carry. You will see fading of the colored splints on the outside and minimal splits in some of the splints. The bottom remains intact, though dusty. Someone wrote ‘1936’ on the bottom in pencil. This basket stands 11″ high (not including the handle) x 16″ x 10″. We got the basket from a collection. It is in good, usable condition. One of a Kind!
