<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4060743, member: 8267"]You can find many examples of such stacked baskets using the term "Chinese wedding basket". They were traditionally used for gifts of food and other items given to the bride. Usually woven of finely split bamboo. They are still being made, so dating may be problematic, but the metal fitting may be an important detail for someone who knows more. Is the side of the handle carved or otherwise decorated?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
