The diameter of the base is 6″ with the sides approximately 4″ high. This basket features a twined base with curls and dyed reed on the sides. The handle is finished with a braided wrap. The basket could be used for displaying green plants, holding wash cloths or guest items in the bathroom or utensils on the kitchen cupboard. It would also make an adorable Easter Basket. You could fill it with candy and a bunny or with spring bulbs and/or gardening accessories as a gift for that special individual.
