I don't always jump on an old folk art twig baskets--they can be a bit unwieldy, and often a bit worse for the wear--but I fell in love this one: just the right scale, and with the handle arching across the diamond shaped basket from corner to corner, lending a dynamism and lyricism to the whole thing. Perhaps best of all, a very old tightly wrapped string/twine mend/reinforcement to the center of the handle, lending extra tenderness and reading as dark blue, so adding a bit of color too. Very sweet thing.
7 3/4" x 6" measured across from corner to corner, 7 1/4" tall at handle. Good condition, stable and sound. Very early 1900s I believe.
