Extra Large Rattan Split Cane and Ply Fruit Basket, circa 1960
About the Item
Extra large, beautifully shaped midcentury rattan split cane fruit basket. Constructed of recycled plywood and rattan cane by an unknown designer. Possibly made in the Philippines in the 1960s or 1970s - we have not been able to find further information.
The fruit in these images show the very large scale of the basket. Images also show the basket with a standard 750ml bottle of wine. I hope this gives you a sense of the scale. This really is a grand size and will easily hold several watermelons or other large fruit.
Beautiful boat-like construction and shape. The open construction gives a sense of open offering of the contents. Imagine it in the tropics, filled with tropical fruit - perhaps a banana flower, pineapples, rambutan, cocoanut and jackfruit. Gorgeous.

- Huge Kaneaki Fujimori Collection Art Glass Platter Kato Kogei Japan, 1985By Fujimori, Kato KogeiLocated in Melbourne, AUJust wow! A huge, gorgeously colourful Kaneaki Fujimori platter. This will display equally well standing, hanging or flat (we prefer it flat because this emphasises the generous size). We love the shocking white of the background which makes the colours pop. We love the smooth gloss of the glass. We love the slightly off-kilter and ovoid shape. It’s a total winner! Kaneaki Fujimori for Kato Kogei 1980s - a classic piece of Japanese postmodern Art Glass. Signature etched to base and original sticker also attached. Red, Green, Yellow and Black are swirled through clear glass, over a milky-white background. Delicious and punchy. Not for the faint-hearted decorator. This piece is loud and assertive. Delightful and fun, with extravagant size and a glossy smooth finish to reflect light and attract the eye. There are some natural flaws which we’ve tried to illustrate in images. These include numerous small bubbles, mots and blemishes. The images are an example, with match-head for scale. Comes with a lucite stand to raise the plate a little higher off surfaces if desired. Kaneaki Fujimori is one of Japan’s preeminent artists and designers of the 20th century. Fujimori was born in Japan in 1935, graduating college in 1956. He majored in oil painting. He travelled to the US and worked in Chicago, Illinois, as a designer for a major ceramics firm. He returned to Japan in 1963, and became a freelance designer for various companies in Nagoya. At age 19, he had won the national art award (for painting) in Japan. Many other awards followed through the 1980s. At the time of the production of this work, he was the director of Kato Kogai, a ceramics and glassware company which was a major supplier to the international market during the 1980s. Reference to his work can be found in the book ‘1950s Then and Now’ by Richard Horn, a publication from the 1980s which compares original 1950s design with new 1980s design done in the 1950s style. He is most well known outside Japan for his lively 1980s ceramics...Category
