Vintage Chinese Rattan/Wicker Wedding Basket. Sent USPS First Class
What a lovely basket from the 40’s era. This is a Chinese Wedding Basket which was used to give a gift of food to the new couple. It is soundly constructed with a loop over tight weave. The basket was hand painted with large flowers of black, red, and yellow, with green leaves. Most of the paint is still there but has faded in spots due to age. The basket sits on a rounded bottom piece to help with stability. The rigid handle is beautifully constructed with a little top handle added. The lid comes off entirely. The lid fits but is not tight fitting. There is some slight wear to the basket along with some faded paint but overall it is in great condition. There are no holes or breaks in the weaving. It measures 9 1/4” long, 10 1/2” tall and about 5 3/4” deep. It is just a great decorative piece that any basket collector would want in their collection.
