This Open Weave Lightship Basket by Dale Rutherford showcases her steady, classic approach to basketmaking in a light, airy form. The open weave gives the basket subtle translucency, letting the tight weave structure stand out while keeping the shape crisp and balanced. At the bottom, a polished white ebony base adds contrast in both tone and grain, grounding the piece with a refined, durable foundation. The maple handle rises cleanly from the rim, secured with ivory‑toned knobs that echo the brightness of the cane and lend a gentle finishing detail. Even a passing glance reveals that the basket is shaped with an eye for material clarity and long-term collectability.

About the Artist

When she is not working on her craft, Dale teaches local kids at the Nantucket Lightship Basket Museum, passing along to the younger generation a tradition first started by sailors during Nantucket's whaling heyday in the mid 1800's. In her spare time, she enjoys gardening and walking in the island's moors with her Border Collies.
