    These are a Thrift store find. Wondering if they are American Indian. These nesting baskets look to be made of some sort of grass very finely woven. The largest is 5 inches tall and 5 and 1/2 inches wide. Also wondering if there's any age to them.

      They are recent imports from China. Identified in "Art of the Basket, Contemporary Basketry from Around the World" by Bryan Sentance, as being made from a type of Chinese rush.
