A small vintage bamboo steamer, most likely from the early 1960's long before the Summer of Love in San Francisco. You can certainly use it to steam vegetable but it can be used to store small things such as art or supplies supplies, seed packets, cotton balls, bedside table necessities...or as a decorative object. It has the gravitas of all things aged and cared for; a number of things make it special:
The patina from use over the years is incredible, giving it the polished glow of antique pine, smooth from use and care.
It's in excellent condition and at a charming 6"h x 7"w the smaller size makes if feel like a special object rather than something ordinary.
