Product Description

This vintage American oyster basket from the 1940s reflects the work of coastal harvesters who gathered oysters by hand along the Atlantic shore. The steel wire frame and sturdy handles were built for strength and constant exposure to salt air and water. The surface shows the honest wear of decades of use, with the darkened finish that forms naturally on hardworking metal. Designed for sorting and sifting freshly gathered oysters, the basket carries the character of a time before modern oyster farming. In the home it lends a touch of maritime history and offers a functional and sculptural reminder of a once essential coastal trade.
