This is a wonderful pottery basket marked made in Italy. (The mark is impressed and stamped in black ink.) This is very heavy terracotta and appears to be handmade. The glaze is a pale blue. I love the twisted handles on the sides. This is in excellent condition with no problems. It measures about 6 1/2" long (not counting the handles) and 6" wide. It is about 2 1/2" deep.
