This white Primo’gi basket was never meant to hold bread at all. It first appeared on the counter of a small-town general store, where folks swore it had a knack for holding only the most curious things. One day it had apples, the next a pocket watch, then once — a frog.

The shopkeeper insisted it wasn’t him, that the basket had a way of filling itself when no one was looking. Locals began daring each other to peek under the cloth, never sure what they’d find…

—and that’s where the tale pauses. The rest of the story will travel home with this basket, waiting to be discovered by its next keeper.

History:
• Italian Roots: Primo’gi ceramics come from Italy, where artisans have a long tradition of making basket-weave designs out of clay. Estimated dating around the 1960s–1980s
• Collectible Value: Primo’gi basket bowls are collectible because of their craftsmanship and the fact that each piece was typically handmade and glazed.
