Description
- Handcrafted Quality: Rattan reed handwoven over a wood bottom, with a wrapped hardwood rim, a solid wood lift-off lid with a leather lift strap, two leather swing handles, and a solid wood shelf on turned legs with a finger hole to lift it out, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it.
- The Square Two-Pie Size: 12 x 12 inches outside and a little over 11 inside, 7 1/2 inches tall in two levels of 3 inches: a 10 1/2 inch pan on the shelf and a 10 inch pan below it, measured at the rim, because the shelf legs stand inside the corners.
- A Picnic Basket The Rest Of The Year: Lift the shelf out by its finger hole and the square basket carries a casserole, a cake, or a picnic for two under the lid, which is why the families call it a pie and picnic basket.
- Measures: 12" x 12" x 7 1/2" tall; about 11" inside; two 3" levels. About 5 pounds empty. 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 hand-sewn cotton liner made for this carrier, protective feet and an engraved solid brass plate are each optional and sold right on this page. The carrier ships unlined 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.
"It fits my 10" pie plates perfectly." Karen wrote in 2020; Pamela's "is large enough to hold both of my 10" ceramic fluted pie plates." Nancy noticed the small thing: "I love that the shelf has a hole to help lift it out of the basket!"
The bottom level takes a pie plate up to 10 inches across the rim, and the top level takes a wider one. Lynne "will use it as a picnic basket when we travel", and Mary's daughter "will also have the basket to use as a picnic basket for the rest of the year!" Charmie has "been collecting baskets for over 35 years and this basket is by far the best constructed basket I've ever seen!!!"
The sizes are the outside of the rim. For round pie plates up to 11 inches, the Dual Pie Carrier at 14 inches across; for three pies, the Triple Pie Basket. The rest of the family is on the pie carriers 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.
Measures: 12" x 12" x 7 1/2" tall
