This mini egg basket is petite - not quite 4 1/2" tall and almost 5" wide at the widest part. I used an antique embroidery hoop for the handle and rim. It is one of the really old ones that doesn't have a tightening mechanism on it. The wood in these hoops has developed a wonderful patina over the years. 
The basket itself is woven with 3mm flat oval reed. (3mm is close to 1/8" wide) There are 6 spokes per side plus the one above the rim for added decoration. I stained this with boiled black walnut hull dye. This would be a perfect little basket on a smaller shelf. $45.00 which includes shipping to continental US.
