Beautiful set of three (3) SHAKER-STYLE OVAL CARRIER BASKETS with plastic liners. The fixed handled baskets were made by Department 56. The set is expertly crafted using Shaker techniques including swallowtail joints and fastening the lap-sided bands with tiny tacks.

The nesting baskets are stained mustard yellow and fit neatly inside each other, measuring:

  1. Large oval basket measures 7” x 5” across bottom, 2 ⅞” high without handle and 7” high with handle.
  2. Medium oval basket measures 5 ½” x 4” across bottom, 1 ⅞” high carrier without handle and 5 ¾” high with handle.
  3. Small oval basket measures 4 ½” x 3” across bottom, 1 ⅞” high carrier without handle and 5” high with handle.

The large and medium baskets are lined with a removable plastic liner and all baskets are stamped with the words, Shaker Basket encircling Department 56.

Shaker boxes remain popular with collectors including reproductions such as these.
