Crafted entirely from stoneware, this basket reimagines the warmth of woven fiber in ceramic form. Each strip is hand-formed and interlaced to create a sculptural lattice—an homage to traditional basketry, now rendered in clay.
Finished with a soft green glaze speckled with earthy flecks, it’s visually striking yet quietly adaptable.
Use it to cradle fruit, showcase seasonal accents, or let it stand alone as a conversation piece. Every basket carries subtle variations in tone and detail, celebrating the hand of the maker and the beauty of imperfection. Measures approximately 10" x 10" x 3".
