This antique lidded basket embodies the beauty of imperfection, with an exceptionally tight, structural weave and an elegant, footed form. Its most striking feature is a large, jagged burn mark on one side. In the spirit of Wabi-Sabi, this damage is honored as part of its history. One side reads as classic and refined; the other reveals a raw, storied past. Display with the unblemished side outward, or use it as a tall vessel for dried pampas grass or branches.
