Antique Chinese Bamboo Hat Basket with Gourd Painting on Lid

Description

Wonderful antique basket is in very good condition. The lid has a drawing of a gourd in the center. The wood grain and patina are lovely. Please refer to condition description and photos. I have owned this for 20+ years. It is a wonderful piece. Approx. 12" high at top of handles and 12" diameter at top of basket, 5 1/4" at the base. I have seen comparable baskets selling at the 0 level.
