This cookery shopping basket is European made full buff willow wicker and has a high carrying handle. Remember when we took a basket to school for cookery classes. Well here is the basket. A great basket for shopping, cookery or even a picnic! Willow baskets are very versatile. These are much hardier and can be used outside as they will survive in all weathers. Usually a stronger weave, they are very sturdy and solid. Grown in fields and by river banks as willow, the branches are stripped of their outer layer and usually treated before weaving. The end product is well suited to carrying weight although the baskets themselves are lightweight. Buff Willow is cropped mainly in November, but sometimes not until December. It is the most popular and is obtained by boiling the willows to release the natural colourant tannin from the bark into the wood. The bark is then stripped from the willow revealing the characteristic golden colour. Double Steamed willow is boiled twice for a deeper, richer colour. Dimensions: L420 x W350 x H220mm exc handle (400 inc handle)
