    A very old Chinese marriage basket ~ primitive art piece
    Has Chinese writing on bottom ~ I don't know what it says
    Has wood pegs attaching handle to the basket & nails for attaching underside of the top
    Top has two pieces of wood so it can sit in the basket without falling off when walking
    Has black paint with painted yellow flower on top, painted pears on one side and pomegranates on other side
    just stunning!
    Inside of lid is a rustic red, evidence of sealing the top perhaps from bugs by remnants of sand mortar!
    Underneath it is not pained
    Measures 14 inches long by 8 3/4  inches wide by 8 1/2 inches high to top of basket
    15  1/2  inches high to top of handle
    weighs over 3 lbs
    Believed to be early 20th century
    I purchased from antique store in Occoquan, Virginia in 1990's ~ told it was probably 100 years (see photo of tag)
    A  piece this old has markings of its long history ~ it is very sturdy (please see photos)
    I used it as a table centerpiece, you have many options: flowers, storage, display on shelf, easter eggs,
    picnic basket!
