#longaberger

Longaberger was a maker of maple baskets, founded in 1973, and a previous girlfriend was a collector. The company changed hands in 2013 and shut down in 2018, though the brand has been relaunched to give more focus to homegoods. Here we see a glass canning jar with their name and a basketweave pattern, and I don't know what was inside but the lid says "Longaberger Blue Ribbon Collection".

World’s largest basket: Newark, Ohio. Also to note: it’s a functional office building formerly for the famed Longaberger company and is vacant, so if you are into painted duck architecture and sustainable packaging this could be your new home.
