*SOLD!* This sweet copper basket has a swiveling brass handle. It has a bright shiny patina, with a hammered texture on the outside and an inverted hammered (almost snakeskin) texture on the inside. The basket measures 3 inches tall (about 8 inches tall with the handle upright), and measures 8 inches in diameter. This copper basket could be used for flowers, garden harvesting, or as a planter for a houseplant. It could also be a serving bowl or catchall. It is in great vintage/used condition, with no chips, cracks, dents, or other damage. The hinge on the handle is quite stiff (did you see me trying to fold it down with one hand in the video?!?) and stands up sturdily. I polished up the basket and it got much brighter and shinier, but there are still some dark areas (particularly on the inside bottom). Please look carefully at photos for condition. A couple of the photos show dark reflections, but I assure you, the outer bell of the bowl is just really shiny - and it is definitely copper colored, not black! A very versatile and charming little piece of vintage copper.
