The basket is lined with a cotton cloth and filled with typical Italian food (cheese, string of salami, cured meat) and wine, of course.
Everything is handmade by me, except the wine flask glass (which is real glass handblown by another artisan - I finished the glass flask to simulate straw and filled it with wine).
The basket is handwoven using wires and linen thread and the food is sculpted in polymer clay.
The food is glued in the basket.
Basket measures 28mm x 28mm x 26mm high (1.1" x 1.1" x 1" high)

Typical from Italy, this kind of bottles are covered with straw. They are still used for some kind of wine (Chianti) but were widely used in the past.
I finish the flask (handblown by another artisan) with the straw decoration and a "Chianti" label. The candle is sculpted with polymer clay and added to the flask (it can't be removed from the flask).
The flask is about 34 mm high (1.3"). Size may vary a bit because the glass is handblown.

Demijohn were used in the past (and currently used sometimes) to store and transport wine. They were like big baskets surrounding a glass container big enough to be filled with gallons of wine.
This miniature demijohn is made with wires and linen thread and a wooden base (all handmade by me) on a real glass core (handblown from another artisan), closed with a real cork.
Demijohn measures 40mm x 40mm x 45mm high (1.6" x 1.6" x 1.8" high).
