Unlike many commercially produced examples, this basket features a wonderfully primitive silhouette with an unusually large, flat tail that gives it exceptional folk art character and immediately caught our attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hinged top wires open and close to make loading and removing eggs easy, while the sturdy wire handle collapses neatly when not in use for compact storage. Its generous size provides plenty of room for gathering eggs, yet it is equally attractive displayed on a countertop filled with fresh produce, linens, or seasonal decorations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYears of honest use have created the warm patina and slight irregularities that make handmade pieces like this so desirable. Small variations in shape are not flaws but evidence of hand craftsmanship, giving this basket the authentic character that collectors appreciate and modern reproductions simply cannot duplicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you have backyard chickens or simply love decorating with genuine farmhouse antiques, this primitive basket is both practical and beautifully sculptural. Its open construction allows fresh eggs to breathe naturally while creating an eye-catching display in any country, cottage, or rustic kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand-wired metal with collapsible wire handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e unknown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1940s to 1950s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5\" L x 8\" W x 9\" H with handle upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e vintage; wear consistent with age and use; beautiful patina, age-related surface wear, and handmade shape irregularities present (see photos)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e collecting, storing, and displaying fresh eggs; produce basket; farmhouse kitchen decor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSourcing:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand selected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e unusual primitive handmade form with a distinctive large flat tail, hinged opening top, collapsible handle, and authentic farmhouse appeal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly one available.
