[QUOTE="cxgirl, post: 8874117, member: 63"]Hi all, I went to a sale today and picked up a few baskets. One is easy to identify, a Sweet Grass Basket from South Carolina (it has an information paper with it):) The other I'm not sure about. I thought maybe First Nations, but after looking closer at it I don't think it is. The main reason is the way the design has been put on, it doesn't look right to me for a First Nations piece. I remember reading an imbricated design should/will look like corn kernels and this doesn't. Also the way the basket ends on the rim doesn't look right for a First Nations basket. So maybe African? I have no idea if my thinking is correct, so looking forward to hearing what you all have to say:) It is 7"H x 3" across the bottom. The last photo is of another basket, has a signature that I can't read and a phone number, looking up the area code it is from Eastern Quebec. It is large, 17"H x 16". I'm keeping it so I'm not concerned with figuring out who made it, just sharing it:) any information appreciated thanks for looking.
