Optima picnic basket Vintage This item is quite difficult to find. Purchased at an antique fair, it was quite expensive due to its vintage nature. !! The well-woven construction is excellent, and despite its age, there is little deterioration. The brown handle is leather. There are some scratches on the lid and sides, but the condition is not bad. The ceramic plates that came with it are missing, but I will include the fork and knife that were originally included. They have white handles and are stylish. How about using it as a gardening basket, a coffee accessory holder, or for interior decoration?
