In Switzerland you can get normal Baskets for CHF 15.- to 100.- (around 1:1 to USD).

You see them all the time, they are so common that the images often don’t even feature a size comparison or use demonstration like in your first link, because everyone knows them 😅.

The one you got is a bit heftier and looks pretty heavy tbh
