1. Ordinary or hand-baskets, sometimes termed wicker baskets.
 Azure, three baskets or -- Garden.
 Sable, three baskets argent -- Littlebury.
 Sable, three wicker baskets [otherwise dossers] with handles argent -- Sir John Littleborne.
 Sable, a bend or, between three hand baskets argent -- Woolston, co. Devon. 1716.
 Gules, three covered baskets or -- Pentney Priory, Norfolk.

2. In one or two cases religious houses seem to have borne a kind of bread 
basket filled with loaves or wastel cakes.

3. Winnowing-baskets. These have various names, that of Vane of Vannet being 
the commonest. But the same kind of basket, which has, when badly drawn, been 
mistaken for an escallop-shell, is also termed Fan, Fruttle, and Shruttle,
 Sire Robert de Sevens de azure, a iij vans de or--Roll, temp. ED. II.
 [N.B. The brass of Sir H. de Septvans in Chartham Church, Kent(ob. A.D. 1306), has the three vanes only, and not seven, as might have been expected from the name.]

The four implements, viz. prime, iron, cutting-knife, and outsticker, used in 
basket-making are represented on the insignia of the Basket-makers' Company: --
 Azure, three cross-baskets in pale argent between a prime and an iron on the dexter, and a cutting knife and an outsticker on the sinister of the second--Basket-makers' Company.

4. Weel: Fish-weel or Fish-basket is a contrivance still used in rivers to 
catch fish. The charges appear to be drawn in various ways, but of those 
attached the first is the more ordinary form of a weel, while the second seems 
to be usually blazoned a fish-basket. The terms eel-pots, weir-baskets, occur 
in describing certain crests, and they have been mistaken for flasks, jars, 
&c., e.g. in the arms of Willard.

 Or, a chevron between two fish-baskets [weels or eel-pots] -- Folebarne.
 Argent, a chevron ermine between three fish-baskets, hoops outwards vert -- Wylley, 1716.

 An eel-pot per pale argent and vert -- The Badge of Lord Williams of Thame (now borne by the Earl of Abingdon).
