Baskets designed for every possible household function were created from brown ash and sweetgrass. They could hold scissors, thimbles, needles, shirt collars, stationery, handkerchiefs, ladies\u2019 gloves, calling cards, and tatting thread. Even desk blotters were made and sold to visitors to Maine\u2019s coastal, lakeside, and mountain resorts, as well as to Mainers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fancy baskets featured splints gauged into standard widths, loose or braided sweetgrass, and elaborate curl work. Splints were dyed with commercial aniline dyes in popular colors of the period\u2014which helps to date these works.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kt-sc19724_4b084c-40 .kt-sc-imgcol, .kt-sc19724_4b084c-40
