[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 4430740, member: 301"]very nice pictures. I concur with your findings why some were painted , personal taste...imo. I prefer the larger one that flares out to be called buttocks , and the smaller , where the rim is the widest point, to be seen as melon. these can get very large or very small....and their history is well known and easy to find on the web and in many books. The Gods eye or Cows eye on your baskets is not well defined leading me to speculate that they made for sale in the growing market of the early 1900's. The condition though, is very good. Remember...the more ribs.....the better !!;);) :happy: [ATTACH=full]379417[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
