$90.00
SKU: MLP51
A fine double lidded basket by the late Joan Rankin. She was at least an IGMA Artisan; I don't know if she made Fellow or not. Intricate and tightly woven, with dual opening lids with handles. I noticed after I took the photos that the handle shows as slightly depressed in the centre - this is now corrected and the handle is straight.
The original label is included. It was sort of stuck to the bottom of the basket with lots of blu-tack, which I have cleaned up to the best of my ability. I've seen photos of another basket in the same condition so I suspect that that is how Joan attached her labels but over time the tacky gets rather oily.
1 11/16 inches (4.3 cm) wide, 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) deep and 1 5/16 inches (3.3 cm) tall.
