Tall Basket with Handle – Mini / Willow / LTU 140522-9 リトアニア/やなぎ シギタスさん 手つきトールバスケット ミニ
This is a small, vertically tall basket.
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.A decorative accent runs through the center, where the weaving pitch is changed like a subtle border.The willow branches are not split; each strip is used at its natural thickness and woven neatly, one by one. Thinner willow is selected for this basket, allowing for a carefully detailed 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 is also beautifully shaped into a clean, circular 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.
Head out with just your essentials. Its slightly elongated silhouette makes it an easy-to-use size for outings by train or bus.Depending on the season, placing a cloth or handkerchief over the top as a cover is also recommended.
While it certainly works well as a basket for outings, it also makes a lovely interior piece when used as a flower basket for dried or fresh flowers.
It can also serve as a basket for holding laundry pins. Doing everyday chores with a basket like this may lift your mood just a little.
Or, use it in the kitchen to store tea sets or sweets. Its tall silhouette provides a gentle sense of concealment and adds a clean, refined look.
Whether as a bag for outings or as a household storage basket, we hope it becomes a pleasant part of your daily life.
