[QUOTE="judy, post: 583046, member: 965"]I agree with Komo.....it deserves attention. When you get back home and can breathe again, do some internet searching. I've had this basket for about 35 years+. This is for home use, but many were made as purses and it was quite a status symbol to carry one. And, the few I've seen carried have always been signed. The name of the maker proudly displayed. (on the bottom) When selling, a name is important. I have kept mine in the kitchen all these years, and I don't ever remember any special care. They will acquire their own patina in time, as mine has. It's a bit of a mystery why yours hasn't a more mellow one. The inside of mine is a different color also, but that's because I use it to hold other "treasures"!:cat:[/QUOTE]
