I love the silhouette and interplay of parts on this one

There is fading of the original exterior pattern due to age

The vase is signed Pottery Craft USA on the side near the base

Northwest Coast Native Vintage Tightly Coiled Handwoven Grass Basket ceramic bud vase I love the silhouette andThis is a beautiful, finely made vintage Northwest Coast Native American basket, presumed Salish. Constructed of tightly coiled grass and in near perfect condition, it features alternating bands of a pale blonde and a darker tan grass, with stair step pattern details in a very dark brown. Really a lovely piece! It measures 4 1 4" tall with a diameter of 7" across at top and 3 1 2" at base. Structurally very strong and with no visible flaws.
