Basketry Cup1-1004

S'abadeb-Seattle Art Museum Whimsical baskets made in imitation of china attest to the resourcefulness of the weaver, who would have to puzzle out how to weave these new forms. This cup and saucer are part of an entire tea set that also includes a large tray with handles, a spouted creamer, and a double-handled and lidded sugar bowl. While Native men of this period went to work in commercial fishing, logging, and agriculture, Native women transferred their basketry skills to the making of clever souvenirs that would appeal to tourists.
