Someone I know will be selling their parent’s home and she is in the process of cleaning it up. 4 or 5 baskets were tossed to the curb for garbage pick-up. They offered them to me because I was standing there when they were making their way to the trash. They offered them to me and I accepted. There is one basket that is pretty interesting to me, and I have no idea as to what it is used for. It is in the shape of a dome (perhaps some type of coiled basket), it does not have a flat bottom and it can wobble, it is not coiled, but rather made with stiches. I would say the diameter at he widest part is at least 20" (could be off on that, it is not in front of me), and is perhaps 4-5" deep at the deepest part. What might this have been used for? The basket seems seem to be quite old, but in good condition.
