Basket- Potato Stamped

This New England Basket- Potato Stamped showcases the hand‑applied designs that define this traditional style. The basket maker wove it with ash splints which they dyed yellow.  Then the maker carved simple shapes into a cut potato, dipped them in pigment, and pressed them onto the ash splints to create the distinctive stamped patterns.   The basket measures approximately 9 inches tall and 12 inches in diameter. The handle rises 6 inches above the rim, adding height and a pleasing silhouette.

Crafted in the early 1900s, the basket shows signs of age, including a few broken splints and fading to the yellow dye.  Even so, the potato‑stamped decoration retains its rustic charm and handmade character, making this a strong display piece for collectors of Northeast baskets.  On the bottom it say W  Ford, the second initial is missing. The photo captures the yellow, although it has faded.

One of a Kind.
