Also means
fruit basket
Usage Note
Obstkorb keeps fruit accessible on the kitchen counter or table and allows air circulation, which helps fruit ripen and last longer than in a sealed container.
Examples
"Im Obstkorb lagen Äpfel, Birnen und eine Banane."
Natural Translation
In the fruit bowl lay apples, pears, and a banana.
Literal Translation
In the fruit-basket lay apples, pears, and a banana.
