Karen Blasko Straw Basket of Small Wrapped Gifts - Artisan Dollhouse Miniature

Description

This listing is for a beautifully festive straw basket filled with tiny wrapped presents, each tied with pretty bows.
This is a marvelous vintage piece from the early 1980s.
This basket is not signed or marked, but they are very similar to several wrapped gifts I have that were signed by Blasko. I believe this piece was made by Karen. T
hey were all likely made around
1982.
The basket is nicely made of blond straw and has a handle across the top. It bears a pretty satin ribbon on the front. The basket is filled three wrapped presents (all glued in place). The wrapping paper is actual paper and each is brightly colored. Each has a wonderful ribbon bow: one red, one green, one gold.
All three boxes are likely small blocks of wood, wrapped in high quality paper and ribbon. They are not meant to be unwrapped and do not open.
This lovely piece would be a marvelous addition to any holiday scene or festive party room.
