this medium-brown colored basket is a vintage item and in good condition for its age, with lots of farmhouse-y charm.
it is a great size. it is square and deep. in the old days, this might have been called a "pie basket," just right for transporting a large homemade pie to a church social or potluck.
the handle is in the basket's center, making the side-to-side style easy to carry with one hand or over your arm.
it's beautiful and perfect to display as decor on top of your kitchen cabinets or on a shelf. other ideas:
- as an easter basket,
- for gathering garden produce,
- as a picnic basket,
- to hold bathroom towels or toilet paper,
- to decorate a table for fall or the holidays, full of seasonal decorations,
- to hold yarn or other crafts materials.
the photos show both the basket's beauty and minor issues, just normal wear and tear for a woven item. the edge around the basket and the four corners of the base are where the issues appear.
size: about 12-1/2" tall from the handle to the base, about 13" side to side, and almost 12-1/2" across
vintage item, as-is, with all the issues clearly photographed
