Unknown Chinese Export Silver Item

Post by dartsil »

HI all,

would anyone know the purpose of this small basket?

To get a feel for it, it weighs 15g, and is approx 37mm tall.

Regards,
Colin

Nice silver miniature wicker rice basket, by Wang Hing.

Thanks Peter.

So just a miniature, I was thinking it maybe had a purpose but it is just merely decorative.
