Title: Just picked these up! Now what are they?
Post by: lewmel on June 13, 2011, 06:50:30 PM

I picked up a set of 4 of these wooden bowls this weekend.  They appear to be hand made.
Does anyone know what they are actually called?  Besides just a collapsible wooden bowl.
Thanks

These are pop-up bread/fruit baskets that are made by artisans and sold at arts/crafts fairs all over!!!!  They fold flat; easy for storage.

Even though they are not old, they are still really cool! In 100 years, someone will be ecstatic to find one of these. ;)

My wife just picked a fish-shaped one from a rummage sale for 25c. Many Amish in my area of Wisconsin make and sell these baskets.
