Picnic Basket / Willow / POL 340225-1　ポーランド/やなぎ　　ピクニックバスケット　ルイ版


							



Here we introduce a picnic basket with an arched handle and a gently raised opening, giving it a distinctive look.






The basket is handmade by Marian,
who lives in Podkarpackie in southeastern Poland,
a region that borders Ukraine to the east and Slovakia to the south.






Willow branches come with bark in many shades, but for this basket the bark has been carefully stripped away.


The weaving is done with these prepared “peeled willows.”


Each basket is woven carefully, strip by strip, using wooden molds that match its shape.












The peeled willow here has a light, orange-brown color, giving the basket a bright and refreshing look.


The branches are boiled in a large kettle to soften them, and once the outer bark is removed, smooth reddish-brown rods appear.


Both the uprights and the weavers are made of willow. Looking closely, you will notice each strip has its own character. While the willow is flexible, the finished basket is firm and sturdy.


In some places you can see the cut ends of the branches.


As shown in the photos, you may also notice thin peeling on the surface of the strips,


slight warping, cracks, or dents. These are natural characteristics of the material and not defects.


Here is the rim. The vertical willow strips are woven into it, finishing it off and adding an accent to the basket.


Here is the rim seen from above. It is firmly made.


The handle is also made with willow as the core, firmly fixed in place.






The bottom is woven of willow as well, with sufficient strength.


On the handles, you may see cracks on the surface of the strips,


or on the bottom as well, cracks in the strips may appear. These, too, are natural characteristics of the material, arising in the making process. Please understand this in advance.


It is sized to carry as a basket bag, yet has a large capacity to hold many belongings.


Its most distinctive feature is the opening. The gently rising line of the rim gives it a soft and gentle impression.


For everyday outings, and for shopping.








As its name suggests, it makes you want to pack lunches and bottles and head out for a picnic.


Placed in a room, it also serves well as a storage basket.




Enjoy this willow basket in many settings for years to come.
