Secondhand Seattle doesn't sell this piece directly. Purchase, payment and delivery happen on Ballard Consignment.
This signed gourd basket is a large hand-carved piece with an open, woven-look lattice cut across the body and a diamond openwork grid over the domed top. A painted band of turquoise, blue, and black triangles rings the rim, and the base is signed and dated by the maker. The natural gourd color and intricate cut pattern make this decorative gourd basket a warm accent for a shelf, mantel, or entryway. Set it out on its own as handmade folk-art decor, or pair it with the smaller matching basket. A signed, dated gourd basket like this is a handmade collectible.
