todays basket

During a brief but rewarding scour of the local charity shops this morning not only did i find the most extraordinary stripy tailored suit with a metallic copper silken lining - watch out for that at the next exhibition opening if i dare! - but I also found a very nice shopping basket at the shamefully low price of £2.50. Here it is and I'm curious for any information about it's source. As the basketmakers among you can see it has a continental oval base, neatly slewed sides with flow inwards then out, a nice two bundle rope border and a skein wrapped handle. Quite a combination! Any ideas?

Wow, that is a beautiful basket and brings up the question..How does one label their work on a willow basket so the folks of tomorrow can know who made them?
