This eye-catching cachepot / planter basket, with flaring walls and broad everted rim design, has been finely handwoven of natural rattan interspersed with tortoiseshell rattan weavers; the epitome of boho chic charm! Colors are naturally aged tan rattan contrasted with the tortoiseshell weavers of onyx and dark lacquered rattan hues. Photos were taken in the round to show all sides and any varying shades and nuances of color and weave. This beauty’s everted rim diameter measures 9½”; 8½” x 7½” W/H; interior 7¼” x 7” H/W; weight 6 oz. In excellent condition with minimal age-appropriate wear. If planning to use for a live potted plant, make sure the plant’s pot has a saucer or liner to prevent damage to the bottom of the basket. Though the label is long gone, this beauty was made in the People’s Republic of China sometime in the 1960s.

With its eye-catching organic boho chic vibe, it will complement most any design style.
