Farber and Shlevin was a company known for producing decorative items that combined porcelain inserts with hammered aluminum frames. Their pieces often featured floral designs and were popular in the mid-20th century. These items were typically affordable and mass-produced, making them accessible to a wide range of consumers.

The combination of delicate porcelain and textured aluminum gave their pieces a unique aesthetic.

Farber & Shlevin items are collected today for their vintage charm and nostalgic appeal. The floral patterns on the porcelain inserts add to their decorative value. These baskets were often used as bridesmaid's baskets or for holding small trinkets.
