in search of a cool basket/server for crackers...

groovygrl

anyone want to help me find? I am looking for something just for crackers- not for cheese AND crackers or dips or anything like that. So, a basket of some sort or something wood or metal...more contemporary in style (not just a wicker basket type thing) & will work with other miscellaneous serving pieces? I've looked at sur la table, napa style, crate & barrel, world market and pottery barn with no luck except the vintage wood platter at PB which is bigger than I think I want and the vintage oval serve bowl from there which is really cool but I was not looking to spend that much, more like $50 or so.

I have one very similar to this one https://www.frenchquartermarket.com/long-oval-fleur-de-lis-dish.aspx. It's perfect for crackers, but not sure if it fits the style you are looking for.

Thanks! I like the long style but don't think the recipient would like the fleur de lis (style is more contemporary, they love nambe, michael aram, etc)

any thoughts on these for serving crackers of various sizes (they're really into differnet cheeses & meats so they use different sizes & types of crackers)

I think the first one is prettier, but the second might be more practical for crackers. This other one is sort of similar in style but more in the right price range https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=14797831&RN=2754&

I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for since I didn't look at the Pottery Barn ones you referenced but here are some suggestions for more contemporary stores to look at: CB2, West Elm, ShopTerrain, Anthropologie, Jonathan Adler. Maybe give Etsy a try? You could also try Murray's Cheese. I'm not sure if they would have a cracker tray but they have all kinds of stuff that cheese lovers would appreciate.
