These Types - Styles of Baskets were Primarily Produced and Used in North Eastern America From the Up State New York Adirondack - New Hampshire - Vermont and Down East Coastal Maine Regions. This Basket is Completely & Beautifully Hand Made - Hand Woven out of Indigenous North American Wood Splint. The Wonderful Attention to Detail would Indicate that it was Made by a Well Seasoned - Experienced Basket Maker. The Top Rim has a Sturdy Steam Bent Ash Ring that has Been Attached - Wrapped in the Weaving. It also has a Strong Arched Steam Bent Ash "Swing Handle" with Copper Rivets. It is in Very Good All Original - Untouched as it Has Survived Over the Years Condition. It has a Wonderful Naturally Aged Color & Patina and it Displays Beautifully. It has a Few Very Minor Age and Use Related Weave Imperfections but Nothing of any Consequence. I Purchased Up State New York Region.
The Basket Itself ( Handle Not Included ) Measures Overall 6 3/4 inches Tall x 10 3/4 inches Long - Wide at Top Rim.
It Measures Overall with the Handle in the Upright Carry Position Approx 12 1/2 inches Tall.
