decorative basket

Woven display vessel

A decorative basket is a basket valued primarily for its appearance rather than utility.

Unlike baskets meant for storage or carrying, decorative baskets serve as ornamental objects—displayed on shelves, hung on walls, or arranged as centerpieces.

They may be handwoven, painted, or crafted from unusual materials: She collected decorative baskets from her travels.
