Vintage Romanian Bread / Serving Baskets Hand Made Sustainable Natural Straw These are at least 22 years old but were never used. Please see the provenance explanation below. Two baskets included. Not only are they highly decorative, but they are also great for serving bread, cookies, snacks or Easter eggs. They are very light. – 1 round basket measuring approximately 7.75″ diameter x 1.5″ – 2″ high and weighing approximately 1.2-1.6oz. – 1 round basket measuring approximately 10″ diameter x 2″ high and weighing approximately 2oz. These baskets are 100% hand made out of natural, sustainable materials such as hazel twigs, straw and corn husks woven in intricate, lacey designs – for that reason no 2 baskets will be completely alike. This includes their measurements and weight. The measurements and weight listed in this Description section are approximate, based on average sizes and weights. The measurements and weight included in the Items Specifics section are based on the averages of the largest basket. Their color may be described differently, by different people: from brown to yellow. As a general indicator, they are the color of natural fresh straw (they even have the scent of straw), with some expected variations. Also expect inevitable imperfections due to the nature of materials, patterns, and exclusive hand crafting. Please also note that in the last 2 pics the baskets’ images may be skewed, as we tried to include 2 relatively large items in 1 pic (camera performance limitations). There are only a few other similar pieces in our store. **** About the provenance of this item **** This item is part of a group of hand made textiles, hand carved wood, hand blown glass, and hand made ceramics that was acquired about 23 years ago from Romania (most from the Transylvania region) for a store our family operated in Ohio. Eventually, the store closed, and all remaining merchandise ended up boxed up in storage in a relative’s climate controlled warehouse, until our eBay store received them just recently. While we may have more than just one piece of a certain style, for the most part: 1. they will be only a few at best; 2. each of them will be unique; 3. once they are gone they cannot be replenished. All these items reflect, one way or another, some aspect of the Romanian cultural heritage – and its appreciation for the creativity, uniqueness, imperfections and charm of hand crafted wares over the monotony and volumes of the assembly lines.
