Antique Teal Over Oyster White Melon Basket

Price: 425 including shipping and insurance SALE PENDING

Sold by Albion Valley Folk Art and Antiques

For sale is a terrific antique primitive round melon basket in old teal paint over the original oyster white paint that has been in my collection for several years. I believe that it dates to the late 19th century, and I purchased it from a prominent Maryland dealer friend. It measures about 14" In diameter and 10 1/2" tall including the handle, and is in nice antique condition, with no major flaws, although there is one small area on the bottom where about 1/2" of a splint is sticking out a bit. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions or for additional photos.
