Basket- Ash Picnic Large

Basket- Ash Picnic Large

This vintage Basket- Ash Picnic Large with lid makes an attractive storage piece and a standout addition to any basket collection. The maker wove it with natural, green and blue ash splints. A sturdy wooden handle makes the basket easy to carry. You’ll notice a few light stains from age and use, but the lid and bottom remain intact. The colored splints have faded, but you can see the original color on the inside.  The rim has broken in places, yet the basket still carries plenty of life, character, and beauty.

The basket stands 11 inches high with the lid on (not including the handle).  It measures 19 inches long by 15 inches wide. It came from a private collection and remains in good,  condition—solid, well‑crafted, and ready for display.

One of a Kind!
