Large Woven Aluminum Wireware Bread Basket

Collectibles : Metalware

 

This basket has all the shine of silver, but it's aluminum, so it won't tarnish, and you'll never have to polish it. It is 12" long, 7 1/4" wide, and 2 1/2" deep. The sides and base are woven of 1/4" aluminum strips. The handles and rim trim are braided aluminum wire. One of the handles lost the rivet on one side, and the rivet has been replaced with a screw and nut (probably stainless as it shines like the rest of the basket). I've given you a close-up shot of that handle. The repair isn't noticeable unless you are looking hard for it.
