The bottom is square and the basket becomes round and slightly smaller as it moves up. At about 8.0 cm. from the lip is a ridge with handles connected at either side. The lid starts a square at the top and then becomes round to fit the body. (It was about 40-50 years old at least at the time of acquisition in 1981). |
