Woven Chinese Basket

Beautifully woven bamboo basket that stands 5-3/4" tall and measures 9" across the top.  It has a green paper tag on the bottom that has a line of Chinese and reads on line beneath that one , "Made in the People's Republic of China" and was made sometime after 1949.  The slightly raised base measures 5-1/2" in diameter.  I think it is very-well made of woven bamboo and does not appear to have any breaks and was found at a recent St. Augustine, FL estate sale.   Nice example of an Asian non-lidded basket.

Welcome to my auctions where you will find a great selection of vintage and antique linens and other wonderful items--ranging from the everyday to the elegant.  Most of my linens are laundered and sold as is.  I love the thrill of finding these one of a kind items and offering them to you--the crafter, the dealer, the collector, or the lover of vintage items who just wants a special item for his/her own home.  Please be aware that what I offer is used vintage items and most have a long history of previous use, so you are not purchasing new and unused items.  Unless otherwise mentioned, my items are cleaned up and my linens are laundered and I make every effort to describe any flaws or irregularities.  So enjoy the looking and I hope you find that special item offered just for you!
