Basket- Large Oval

Basket- Large Oval

This vintage Basket- Large Oval Ash & Sweetgrass delivers instant visual appeal and makes a standout addition to any collection. The maker dyed the ash splints red, orange, yellow, and green, and created a classic pattern that still shows hints of its original vibrancy. The basket measures an impressive 12.5 inches tall and 14 inches wide with a 7.5‑inch opening.

You will see a few splints with minor cracks, but the basket remains remarkably solid for its age. Two 9‑inch sweetgrass rings hang on the sides. This is a well‑crafted, eye‑catching piece that brings authenticity, color, and character to any space. Collectors will recognize its quality the moment they see it. The photos capture the pattern clearly, though the colors appear brighter in the images—the actual colors are somewhat faded.

One of a Kind!
