Any Basket Mavens?

treetopleaf, good guess. I looked up some rising bread baskets and they seem to have much thicker reeds than mine and tend to be coiled. None of the ones I saw looked like mine. In the process I found some thin reed dome shaped basket inside another basket with handles and it seemed to be used at one time to hold tea. It was not exactly like mine, but I wonder if mine was made to go into another basket and perhaps used to hold and serve something? Perhaps it was a lid for something? Oh well. I think I have dwelled upon this trivia long enough, but I am still a bit curious about it.
