Discover the vibrant charm of traditional artistry with this distinctive large handmade paper mache basket, measuring approximately 12.5 inches in diameter and standing 12.5 inches high. Crafted entirely from sturdy paper mache, this rounded vessel is a testament to the expressive use of color and unique design spirit of Northern China or Mongolia.
The basket is adorned with a bold, vibrant yellow painted finish, which creates an immediate sense of warmth and cheer. This sunny hue is complemented by areas of natural, distressed wear, particularly towards the rim and where the paint has softened over time, revealing the underlying paper mache texture and subtle hints of orange tones. This authentic aging is not a flaw, but rather a genuine hallmark of its vintage status, imbuing the piece with unparalleled character. Its simple, sturdy form allows the rich color and texture to take center stage.
As a vintage piece, the basket proudly displays the subtle patina of age, with its paper mache surface and painted details acquiring a timeworn character that adds to its authentic charm. This lovely basket is perfect for stashing blankets, throws, magazines, or children's toys, blending functionality with distinct artistic presence.
