A fresh take on traditional weaving, this rectangular basket is hand-formed from stoneware and finished with a soft speckled glaze. Each ceramic strip is carefully interlaced to create a tactile lattice that evokes the warmth of natural fiber—reimagined in durable, sculptural form.
Measuring approximately 12" long by 5.25" wide by 2.5" tall, it’s perfectly sized for serving bread or anchoring a seasonal centerpiece. Subtle variations in tone and texture make each one a little different, a quiet celebration of the hand that shaped it.
