Vintage Japanese Ikebana Basket with Arch Handle
 
This slender Japanese ikebana basket with a twined bamboo rhizome handle and a slightly flared rim is very finely woven by the hand of a superb craftsman using several plaiting techniques. This artful piece is beautiful in balance of design and execution, created in a light and delicate classic tapered square form.  
 
Preserved in very good condition and maintains a rich and warm golden patina.  Wear due to age and use.
