A Chinese Bamboo Wedding Basket

This delightful Chinese bamboo wedding basket is a traditional vessel once used to carry gifts, offerings, or food during marriage ceremonies. Crafted with an octagonal body and fitted with a graceful arching handle, the basket is richly decorated in warm cinnabar tones, adorned with painted floral motifs symbolizing prosperity, beauty, and new beginnings.The lacquered surface shows subtle age-softening and wear—a testament to its history and cultural life—while the woven wrap around the handle adds handmade character and functional reinforcement. Lightweight yet sturdy, it stands as both a decorative object and a relic of festive customs. Price for each. More is available at the store.
