White Oak Paper Waste Basket with Lid - Large

I am a large Lidded White Oak wood Waste Basket. Every time I go to open my mouth, something gets thrown at me. I guess that's what I get for being wasteful.

Curator's Notes

Trash containers are often hidden or an after-thought, kept far away from public sight. We like the idea that a frequently neglected household item can also be beautiful and worthy of display. The design detail of the swaying lid is particularly attractive and engaging.
