    Hoping someone has some info on this basket. Is it made of roots or twigs? Where was it made? Have you ever seen one like this before? Quite unique. Just curious about it and know nothing. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give. may 19 2018 022.JPG may 19 2018 022.JPG may 19 2018 019.JPG

    Lovely basket, kaudet. I remember my mother using similar baskets in the 70s or 80s for silk flower arranging. I don't know if that is any help.

    It looks pretty close. It says it was found at a winery, not that it was made there. They call the style Adirondack, which is a long way from California. Adirondack probably because of the rough, rustic look. It would be good to do some more research in that direction, I think.
    The price is very ambitious imho, and did you see the shipping fee? These people really want to make money, no matter what. That doesn't mean they will, though, with an attitude like that.
