Finnish Birch Bark Basket by Galina ⚫︎Size Approx. W 29cm x D 18cm x H 24cm (including handle) ⚫︎Condition It has been used with care, so it is a used item, but there are no noticeable flaws. It has a luster and has turned slightly amber. This is a birch bark basket woven by Finnish basket maker Galina Lottanen. While the birch bark used in general baskets is usually taken from the tree in a circular fashion, Galina uses longer pieces of bark, sliced diagonally, resulting in fewer seams and greater durability compared to baskets with many patches. The wire core of the mouth is also sturdy, making it a high-quality item that can be used for a long time. The more you use it, the more luster it will develop, and the more wonderful its texture will become. Thank you for viewing. We will pack it carefully and ship it promptly.
