Childs green willow Wicker Oval Shopping Basket with full buff willow wicker top band and handle. A little bit smaller than the Childs oval green willow hollander, this basket would be suitable for age 5-8 children. Ideal for Easter, Bridesmaids, Flower Girls or even as a fruit basket. If you have different aged Flower Girls this range of baskets would be ideal – same colour but varied sizes. Easy access means they could be used for petals or confetti cones. 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. The Green Willow is used in its natural state, having gone through no treatment process. The name is from the raw state, not necessarily the colour. Dimensions: L280 x W210 x H110mm (260mm inc handle)
