It is woven from peeled willow—strips made by removing the outer bark of the branch.
The peeled willow sourced from Lithuania is known for its gentle, pale color. Under natural light, it reflects a bright yet soft glow, giving the basket a warm and delicate character.
The entire basket is woven in a simple technique, passing each vertical strip under and over in turn.This view shows the basket from the vertical side. It is one of the slimmer types in shape.The willow branches are not split; each strip is used at its natural thickness and woven neatly, one by one. Slightly thinner willow is selected for this basket, allowing for a finer and more delicate weave.The handle is made by using a thick willow branch as the core and wrapping thinner willow strips around it. It feels gentle in the hand, and the structure is stable with almost no wobble when carried.The rim is finished with a braided trim, giving the basket a touch of European character.The base is woven tightly, using a traditional, durable construction commonly seen in European willow work.The base has a clean, beautifully shaped oval form.At times, you may notice slight splits, cracks, or small protrusions in the wicker, as shown in the photo. These are natural characteristics of the material and not considered defects. We kindly ask for your understanding. (Photo shown is from Polish willow work.)
Many people may associate baskets with spring and summer, but those made in colder countries like Lithuania also pair beautifully with autumn and winter outfits. For example, you can take it out with a warm stole or muffler for a seasonal outing.
It is a convenient size for use as a basket bag for outings. Depending on the season, you can place a cloth or handkerchief over the top as a cover, which adds a nice touch.It also works well as a basket for everyday groceries or bread. Unlike soft bags, the items inside stay in place, making it suitable for carrying delicate foods.
While it certainly works well as a carrying basket, it also makes a lovely interior piece when filled with dried flowers.
