This shallow basket plate can be hung on the wall or used as tableware. It has images of a bride and groom and green houses. It's 13 " across and 1 3/4" deep.  They're woven on a steel wire frame with coloured telephone wire and have a nice hefty weight. They are dramatic pieces mounted on the wall or used for the table for fruit or bread.  A very fine and unusual basket and a collectors item.These baskets are made by women in the Durban area in South Africa and were featured in the August 2010 edition of Veranda Magazine. If you look under The Makers link above, you can find out more about how these baskets are made.  <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.africanthreads.ca&media=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.africanthreads.ca%2Fproducts%2FRed-Wedding-plate%257B47%257Dbasket.html&description=Wedding%20plate%3A%20hand%20woven%20telephone%20wire%20basket.%20Made%20by%20women%20in%20South%20Africa.%20Fair-trade%20collector%20item." class="pin-it-button" count-layout="none">Pin It</a>
