Description
I have an old looking basket-shaped item measuring 8 inches wide, 6 inches deep, and 5 inches tall (9 inches tall if you include the handle). The body of the basket is some king of ceramic material, has an ornate floral design, has lots of crazing, and appears to be brown with age (but this could be the way it was made). The very fancy footed base and handle are made of some mystery material that is hard, but seems to have a very low density (almost like paper mache than has been hardened somehow).
I think this may be some kind of bride's basket, but there ar no markings that I can find. I think the base and handle may have been glued to the ceramic basket, but cannot tell for sure.
