"Robin" Spindler) This 7" Lotus Mist Burmese basket in the Lily of the Valley pattern is a designer sample from a time when we were considering pieces to be sold on QVC during 2007. This basket, which was handpainted by J. K. "Robin" Spindler, has a different decoration from the one which will be sold on-air. The handler's mark (Butch Wright) is clearly visible on both ends of the handle. Who is J. K. "Robin" Spindler? Robin Spindler who is known as "J. K.
