G575 New England Cheese basket with sturdy 5/8” steamed and bent double rimmed top and Shaker-style weave secured to the rim by a single wrapped edge. Interior and exterior rim bands are secured together with tacks. Basket retains its original dry red paint on top and sides, whereas the bottom and interior show only natural patina. Wear around top is indicative of age and use. Minor damage, that does not detract from the beauty of the basket. (See photos for broken area on one side.) This type of basket was originally used to separate the curds from the whey in cheese making. This is a wonderful size for display! Measurements are: 14” diameter x 6” tall
