Jesse Jones (1907-2003) was a widely recognized Appalachian basket maker from Scott County, Virginia, known for his traditional white oak rib-type baskets. While he did not receive the specific National Heritage Winner award (formally, the National Heritage Fellowship), he gained significant recognition for his mastery of the craft.
