I bought this because I ‘needed’ it!
But what is it’s original purpose, do you think?
Every tray or container I buy….
I wonder how many seashells it will hold!

Do YOU know what it is?

I would use it to organize my cosmetics on my vanity! VERY pretty tray.

It lends itself to seashells very nicely...I have no idea what it really is...a candy dish? A jewelry organizer? A desk organizer? Hmmmm...someone will know!
Hi
It looks like a nuts dish.....something like what you'd get at Christmas. I think they are filled with a varied selection of nuts and dates for people to help themselves. However the seashells look lovely and it would look great in a bathroom!
keep well

I would glue those in and hang it on the wall like a little shelf.
My first thought was fill it with threads and yarn.
I agree with all the comments so far! My first thought was vanity tray then I thought maybe a wall shelf?? Guess it's up to you. I do like the shells in there! Pretty!
Love the vintage books in the previous post. As for the basket, haven't got a clue, but it holds the shells nicely.
Diane- I'm sure THAT's what it was meant for- sorting seashells! lol Not sure WHAT it was intended for. I wonder if it came as part of a package for a gift-with things like soaps, etc., in it? Whatever it is- it's cute! xo Diana
I am not sure what it is for - but I can tell you it is beautiful!
I love it filled with shells! I would say it originally held some sort of food products in a gift pack. I think it's a really useful item. I love baskets and organizing!

Maybe it held nuts or a dried fruit assortment....whatever the case, your shells have called it home now! and rightly so! Love it!
Linda
Sew what!
It's definitely a great container for organizing things. Your shells are the perfect touch.
that is really, really cute!
I think it's perfect for your sea shells. I agree that it was once used for holding nuts, probably a gift pack basket.
I think the possibilities are endless - it's a cute little tray!
I bet it was packed with things like candies, chocolates, nuts, etc.. with a liner, ofcourse.. from one of those baskets, like from Harry and David, etc.
Well I think you've proved this tray was/is meant for holding seashells! It's a very neat piece!

I don't, but I'm curious to find out. :)
I like it with shells, it's pretty and protects them too.
I'm sure it's a sea shell holder!!

Hi..!!That is perfect for my beads.

I had one just like it, it came filled with different nuts and candies, and that is what I used it for when entertaining. xo
I used to work for a gift basket company and it looks like it might have held cheeses, crackers, sausages - that kind of thing. Like a Hickory Farms gift basket. I would put shells in it too! xo
Maybe it was filled with dried fruit? shells are better!
Hmmmm, not a clue. Maybe it was meant for your seashells :)
no..i dont know...maybe chips and salsa?
your shells look fab there though...
Yep..I agree with some of the above. I think it was used for displaying nuts and dates, etc and then wrapped in colored cellophane, or clear. I have one like it in a darker hue. I think yours is perfect for displaying your seashells. Perfect use!!
YOU BE SOOO SMART, Diane!! :):)
Neat!! So many things you can do with this!
You have such an awesome collection of beautiful shells!!
Whatever it was originally used for, it is perfect for your shells!
I don't know what it was for originally, but it looks perfect now holding those beautiful sea shells!

I see Buttons..hehe But your shells are perfect.
Woolie Hugs
Im a little behind on yesterdays posts.. It's possible it was a chip and dip holder. It is pretty though with the shells in it :)
I love what the seashells did to that basket. They added the perfect touch. I am not certain what I think it's prior use was?? I cannot figure it out! Oh well.
I've seen it used for assortment of nuts in their shell. The pick, cracker, and empty shells get tossed in the middle.
