The Basket 4.5 inches long, just over 2.25 inches wide and 2.5 inches tall to top of handle. The Tongs 2.75 inches long. They weigh a total of 56g

There are a couple of little shallow pin prick dings to one area in the base,but these are minor and there is a slight foot impression to one of the feet, but again this is minor. I purchased this a pair so I do have another one, but I have split them up as the other trug is slightly older and the tongs are plain, but if you would like to keep them as a pair, then please do not miss it .Also they amy be ised as little bon bon dishes (the tongs could be used to serve the sweets or chocolates).Stock No. 4953
