Do you know what this is?

This is what my mother-in-law brought me for Christmas. I wasn't sure what it was at first but I love it. Lets see if you can guess???

Looks like what I call a nesting basket? You pick it up and the bottom drops down and pulls the other sections forming a basket. I bought what I am describing for my daughter when I was in Italy 2 years ago.

Can't even begin to guess.

I have one similar, shaped like an apple. I use mine as a fruit bowl.

I know...it can be used as a bowl or as a trivet.

Before I clicked on it it looked like a mini Zen garden that you rake, but now that I look closer, I have no clue. Cool picture though:)

@weezalilly @samdan @denisedaly you were all correct. I posted a photo of the bowl today :)
