These were all purchased in the Victoria, BC, Canada area. Wondering if any or all are west coast First Nations work? Basket 1 is 2 1/4 inches high and 3 1/2 inches diameter. Basket 2 is 3 inches high and 6 1/2 inches long "Cake stand" is 5 1/2 inches high and 11 inches diameter on the top. I am least convinced by the cake stand but I actually bought it to put a wee antique feather tree and would like to clean it up to do so (oil wood, try to remove paint splatter, etc). Not to mention that I would be a bit conflicted uaing it for that purpose if it was FN made. I know some items were made for the tourist trade in European forms and wonder if this is one. Any and all information is greatly appreciated! I have little money sunk into them and they each delight me. Thanks! ETA pics of top and bottom of stand in comments.[/QUOTE]
