Excellent used condition! Measures 13 inches long by 4.5 inches tall (not including the handles) Wire egg baskets shaped like chickens or hens became popular in rural America and Europe during the early-to-mid 20th century as both functional farm tools and decorative kitchen items. These baskets were designed to safely collect and store fresh eggs from chicken coops, with the wire construction allowing air circulation while protecting the eggs. Vintage wire hen baskets are now highly sought after by farmhouse decor enthusiasts and collectors of rustic Americana.
