Description

  • Handcrafted Quality: Rattan reed handwoven over a wood bottom with a wrapped rim and a fixed bent wood handle wrapped in reed, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it.
  • The Size: 5 1/2 inches across and 8 inches tall to the top of the handle: a handful of wrapped candy on the counter, a dozen cookies for a neighbor, or a small Easter basket for a toddler. It is the same basket we sell in the spring as the Extra Small Easter Basket.
  • Fill It Yourself: The candy in the photo is a prop and is not included. The Amish chocolates, peanut clusters and toffee bars, are on the candy page and go in the same order; a jar of the Amish jam from the gift baskets page fits too.
  • Measures: 5 1/2" diameter x 8" tall. Candy not included.
  • Three Trim Colors: Choose Plain, Wine & Blue, or Wine & Green. The color is woven in as dyed reed, not painted on, and on the plain finish the stain takes to each piece of wood in its own way.
  • Optional Extras: An engraved solid brass plate and protective feet are optional and sold right on this page.
  • American Heritage: Handwoven in the USA and signed by the Amish weaver who made it. Backed by our lifetime guarantee, with free shipping and no-questions returns on every order.

Joan bought it for her 92-year-old mother: "made beautiful and very cute and sturdy". Patricia: "Very beautiful small, handled basket." Elizabeth sent them to a family who "were so pleased and thought of different places to use the basket".

It is the smallest basket in the kitchen family, and the one to fill for a teacher, a nurse or the neighbor who brought the soup: line it with a napkin, add the cookies or the chocolates, and it ships gift-ready with a free note at checkout. For a bigger basket to fill, the Blessings Basket at 11 x 6 inches takes a loaf and a jar.

The sizes are outside measurements. The rest of the counter and table baskets are on the kitchen baskets page; the filled baskets, jams, soaps and candles, are on the gift baskets page.

An Old Order Amish family weaves it by hand on the Iowa-Missouri border, in the same community as the rest of our kitchen baskets, and the weaver signs the bottom before it leaves the farm. Standard shipping is free, and rush delivery is offered at checkout when a birthday or Christmas is close. It ships gift-ready, with no prices in the box, a free gift note at checkout, and a short letter about the family who wove it. Like every basket we sell, it carries our lifetime guarantee, and returns are no questions asked.
