Medium Wicker Picnic Basket | Classic Amish Woven Wood w/Lid

• Handcrafted Quality: Rattan reed handwoven over a solid wood bottom with a wrapped rim, a two-piece wood lid hinged at the center on leather straps, and one fixed bent wood handle that stays upright, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it.
• Lunch For Four, One Hand To Carry: 17 x 12 inches at the rim, 8 1/2 inches deep, and 15 inches to the top of the handle: the sandwiches, the fruit and the drinks for four, the potluck dish for the church supper, or the blanket and the lunch for two. Small enough that one person carries it full.
• The Hinged Lid: A two-piece wood lid hinged at the center on leather straps, so either half lifts while the other stays down and the basket opens from whichever side you are sitting on.
• Measures: 17" x 12" x 15" tall to the top of the handle; 8 1/2" deep. Contents 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: 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 basket ships unlined and empty, and is complete without them.
• 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.

Catherine, in 2020: "Big enough for lunch for four, small enough for anyone to carry. Even great for storage at home!" Mary, in 2025: "A prefect size for a couple at picnic." Cindy needed "something that looked good, yet could hold some weight without breaking. This basket fit the bill!"

John keeps his for "the traditional picnic in my old Model A pickup truck"; Randal's is "just what I wanted to put in backseat when making trips"; Cynthia's personalized one is her office "for upcoming book fairs and farmers markets". Elizabeth: "Already used to bring dinner to my daughter’s house." Heidi: "It will make a meaningful bridal gift to my daughter in a tradition now since my mother gave one to me on my wedding."

The sizes are outside measurements. For two, the Small Vintage Picnic Basket; for the family, the Large Vintage with the optional tray. 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: 17" x 12" x 15" tall
