Vintage Wirework Egg Basket / Bowl with Collapsible Sides toy substructure and as perfect little pedestalsI think these sorts of wire baskets are pretty brilliant great looking and useful for all sorts of things, and then they collapse flat to store when not needed. The sides on this one can been positioned fully upright to form a tight bowl, or angled more outwardly to accommodate whatever one might want to put in it. Perfect on the counter filled with fresh fruit or veggies, and of course ideal for fresh eggs! 12 1 2" across when flat; sides raise to 4
