Description
- Handcrafted Quality: Rattan reed handwoven over a solid wood bottom with a wrapped rim, a lift-off solid wood lid with a leather pull, and two genuine steerhide leather strap handles riveted through the weave, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it.
- The Family-Reunion Size: 22 1/2 x 14 inches and 13 1/4 inches tall: the church social, the tailgate, the reunion. The legged wood shelf that comes with it stands inside so the dishes ride underneath and the food on top, and it lifts out when a tall pot needs the full depth.
- Serving Sets Up To Eight: The set for 2, 4, 6 or 8, optional on this page, straps 9 inch melamine plates and 12 ounce tumblers to the inside of the lid and rolls the stainless flatware into a hand-sewn case. Full, it is a two-hand carry.
- Measures: 22 1/2" x 14" x 13 1/4" tall. The shelf is included; contents are not.
- 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: The serving set for 2 to 8, a wine and cheese serving set, a hand-sewn cloth liner in cream, wine, blue or green, an engraved solid brass plate and protective feet are each optional and sold right on this page. The lid stays closed on its own, and the straps pass over it. The plates and tumblers strap to the inside of the lid on leather straps cut for these pieces, the flatware rolls into a hand-sewn case, and the helpers fit the set before the basket ships, so it is ordered with the basket.
- 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.
Perry, in 2024: "The XL size provided the additional capacity to organize my picnic supplies for slightly larger meals." John bought both big sizes: "The extra large is worth the extra cost." Eden: it "will hold what I need for meals at church gatherings". Teddy: "just what we needed for bringing food and board games to a friend's house".
Sharon keeps hers in the car: "Works great in the back of my suv." Off the picnic it is storage: Julie, in 2026: "I am a truck driver and this handcrafted item has helped very much with organization, and storage." Ethlyn "purchased it to store snacks and food-related items in the tack room at the barn where I board my horse". Susan, in 2025: "so lovely I bought a second one to use as storage. Then I bought a third one for a wedding shower gift."
The sizes are outside measurements. For five or six, the Large Picnic Basket is 22 x 13 and three inches shorter; all the sizes are on the picnic 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 picnic baskets, and signs the bottom before it leaves the farm. Standard shipping is free, and rush delivery is offered at checkout when a wedding or a birthday 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 made it. Like every basket we sell, it carries our lifetime guarantee, and returns are no questions asked.
Measures: 22 1/2" x 14" x 13 1/4" tall
