VINTAGE WICKER DUCK PIN CUSHION BASKET

Charming vintage swan-shaped wicker basket with a built-in fabric pin cushion, currently filled with assorted colorful pins. Features a beautifully woven wicker body, wooden beak, and classic handwoven detail. The bottom is sturdy, and the piece measures approx. 8” in length. A lovely addition for sewing enthusiasts, collectors of vintage sewing accessories, or as a unique decorative accent for your craft room. The swan’s beak also features markings that add character and authenticity. From a smoke-free home. There appears to be some writing under the beak. I am unsure if it is Chinese. I took a picture of it and ran it through ChatGPT, which here was what the return was.: ***** From the image, the first character looks like it could be 苏 (Sū, often meaning “revive” or used as part of a name/place, such as Jiangsu province). The second character is less clear but resembles 州 (zhōu, meaning “state” or “prefecture”). So, it’s likely these are Chinese characters, possibly indicating either a maker’s mark, a workshop name, or the place of origin.***** This further created a little bit of mystery and made it a little more intriguing. #VintageSewing #WickerDecor #CraftRoomStyle
