Wow! That's quite odd. The second one looks a bit like an ET.

I wouldn't call them fake, but imitations or rather cane inspirations of Vespa scooters.

Pretty good work, in my opinion.

Yes, another case of the OP making a catchy title. They are beautiful for baskets, but other than room decor, they look pretty useless. I see a price tag on the 2nd one....I wish I knew how much they were asking for them.

I seem to remember them being around the £200 mark.

Wicker Basket is what we call it in the US, It could be used for store displays or office I'm not sure I'd like that in my house. just as I would not like a Harley Davison Lamp.

Some guy at Amerivespa 2009 had one of those and was trying to sell it for like $1200.00 Does anyone else remember that? It wasn't painted though, it was natural wicker color.
