Thought to resemble the fanned-out tail feathers of a mythical phoenix, the fantail silhouette is defined by its wide shoulders, narrowed neck and flared lip. Dated to the early 20th century, the basket expresses a humble beauty and speaks to the thoughtful craftsmanship of everyday objects. See less
