<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 3336584, member: 45&quot;]The basket has the typical spoke-like start associated with Chinese baskets, but I wouldn&#039;t say definitely that&#039;s what it is.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s difficult to determine the material it&#039;s made with from the photo.&nbsp; The &quot;Z&quot; twist to the twining would be a clue also, as well as the kind of vertical or ribbed orientation appearance of the twining stitches on the outside.</p><p><br /></p><p>In one of the photos, it almost looks like there are remnants of colors, like paint (?) on the sides.&nbsp; If so, I would lean more toward it being one of those Chinese sewing basket, that have a painted design on the outside, missing its lid.&nbsp; Not the split bamboo ones, with the beads, coins, tassels, and glass rings, (but I can&#039;t find any illustrations of them right now.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry I can&#039;t be of more help on this one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
