Taghkanic Basket


This basket is definitely a Taghkanic Basket.  It looks very much like the Fruit/Friendship Baskets but the handle is different. The handle attachment appears to be a modification of that used on the majority of their other baskets.  This is not the usual norm but they often times made "special order" baskets intended for a customer's specific use.

The construction of this basket has all the elements of a classic Taghkanic Basket . . . The "D" shaped rim, the "kicked in" bottom, the double wrapped rim, the alternately turned down ribs and the tapering ribs elongating after passing through the middle of the basket. The construction is just as it should be and the paint is a wonderful Cranberry Red color!

The basket itself is 2-1/2" tall and the graceful handle brings the height to @14 inches. A very special piece, possibly one extant.
