This is a wonderful and shapely, small antique Victorian, hand-woven gesso / barbola wicker vase. Whimsical spiral-turned design with original gesso. The gesso retains its beautiful and original pastel colors. Wood bottom. This vase is in excellent original condition, except for one small piece of gesso missing in the back and the original paint on the vase has some very minor wear. Circa 1900.
***Quoted from EBay’s Reviews & Guides: "Antique Barbola Gesso Baskets are not only a beautiful addition to your home, they are quite scarce and therefore highly sought after by collectors!" and "…antique pieces almost always have surface cracks, as well as some missing bits here and there. This is perfectly acceptable and does not affect value much, as long as not too much of the ornamentation is missing."
