<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9513044, member: 8267&quot;]Such &quot;pencil reed&quot; baskets and furnishings seem to have been popular in the 60s and 70s. Pencil reed is a form of rattan, a climbing vine native to Southeast Asia and Indonesia, where most of these items were probably made.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your basket is made with a version of the coiling technique and so, technically, would not be classified as wicker. (Wicker is a woven technique, with vertical uprights/stakes and horizontal weavers.) There are traditional styles of coiled basketry made in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, but they do not look like this basket. Although I have not been able to find much information on the history of this type of product, I suspect it was developed specifically for the export market.</p><p><br /></p><p>For comparison -</p><p><a href="https://scoutdesignstudio.com/products/fl40-93-pencil-reed-urn?variant=42096144449694" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://scoutdesignstudio.com/products/fl40-93-pencil-reed-urn?variant=42096144449694" rel="nofollow">https://scoutdesignstudio.com/products/fl40-93-pencil-reed-urn?variant=42096144449694</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
