<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 29659, member: 50&quot;]Beautiful basket!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for all the help and guidance from everyone! This local auction had many pieces including some from an obvious collector of studio pottery and then there were some baskets that also looked &quot;collected&quot; instead of just misc. storage (at least to my eye). I knew the Papago basket because I have one my parents gave me years ago (and it turns out it still had a tag<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />) and one very interesting basket that I&#039;m pretty sure was NA but at least a great basket but it was obviously desired by a dealer in the room so I let it go.&nbsp; I can&#039;t buy everything I&#039;d like to have. The rest no one wanted so I got them as a lot.</p><p><br /></p><p>I love the opportunity to learn and I&#039;m going to invest in books to get me going down that path and knowing to watch for errors will keep me verifying but having a starting place is so helpful.&nbsp; I have tried looking at sites online but it&#039;s a slog.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do sell some things online but I don&#039;t know if I&#039;d venture into baskets but then again I sell things I&#039;m not overly familiar with all the time with caveats.&nbsp; I occasionally do a nice flea market and that might be the place if I decide to sell.&nbsp; It&#039;s great when people can touch things and you can chat about what it might or might not be. A lot of buyers at this market are very very savvy!</p><p><br /></p><p>This is one of the baskets I was going to toss as one of the back straps(?) is broken.&nbsp; Am I wrong?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]7447[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]7448[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]7449[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
