Description
-
A robust and chunky hand-braided utility basket, likely sourced during the Craft World Tours explorations of Southeast Asian markets. Crafted from thick, sun-dried seagrass or water hyacinth, this basket features a heavy-duty braided rim and two integrated loop handles for easy transport. The “twisted-rope” weaving technique provides a dense, sturdy wall that maintains its shape even when empty. This is a highly functional piece of folk craft, perfect for organic home storage, as a large planter cover, or as a textural floor accent.

Condition Note: Excellent vintage condition. The seagrass is supple and intact with no major fraying or breaks in the braiding. The bottom is reinforced and sits flat.
