These two are sized to stand together: 11 inches across by 11.75 tall for the larger, 8 by 10.25 for the smaller. Both are handwoven cattail and paper fiber over wire frames, and both carry the same black stitch-like marks running through the natural ground.
The diameters differ by three inches and the heights by only 1.5, so the smaller basket is proportionally taller and narrower than a straight scaled copy. Standing side by side on a shelf they look deliberate rather than like one basket shrunk. Loose odds and ends go in the small one, accessories and bulkier items in the large.
The dark figures worked into these two read like running stitches across the natural fiber, short dashes rather than broad bands. On an 8 inch body the marks sit close together and on the 11 inch one they spread, which keeps the pair from looking like duplicates. Dyed paper fiber carries the black, woven in with the cattail.
Each basket in the set gets its own handles anchored to the wire frame inside, including the 8 inch one, which is where sets often skip the hardware. That makes the small basket a carrier for craft supplies or remotes rather than a fixed decorative object. Both frames hold their round mouths open under a full load.
