Not sure where this was made or what it is,

I bought this years ago at an auction, Was told it is Native American, at that time, Remember I won it for five dollars, so it will not break my heart if it destined for garage sale,

 

nope, not NA..

Not NA. My guess would be hobbyist/artisan. Not a traditional style from anywhere, and a technique frequently used by relative amateurs.

 

Perhaps from the Méret Oppenheim collection of teaware?

 

Agree, definitely not Native American. I've never seen anything quite like it, however, so can't add much in the way of identification, except that it appears to be made from rattan and raffia, and that little circle start is commonly found on baskets from Lombok, Indonesia.

The coils joined by a wrapped stitch is not a technique usually done there, however, and isn't very well-done here, so I'd lean more toward it being an amateur project, not done by someone for a retail market.
