Amish Picnic BasketLarge Classic Wicker Outdoor Tote With Lid

• Handcrafted Quality: Rattan reed handwoven over a solid wood bottom with a wrapped rim, a lift-off solid wood lid with a wood knob, and two genuine steerhide leather strap handles riveted through the weave that lie flat when you set it down, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it.
• The Casserole Carrier: 17 1/2 x 14 inches at the rim and 9 1/2 inches tall, 14 3/4 x 10 3/4 across the bottom inside: two 9 x 13 dishes ride side by side under the lid, or the cakes and pies for a potluck, with the leather straps carrying the weight.
• The Tray, If You Want It: The legged organization tray that comes with the Traditional and Large baskets is sold on this page as an option: a wood shelf on turned legs that stands inside so the plates ride underneath and the food on top.
• Measures: 17 1/2" x 14" x 9 1/2" tall. 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: The legged organization tray, a wine and cheese serving set, a hand-sewn cloth liner in cream, wine, blue, green or gray, 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.

Lacey bought it for church suppers: "Easily holds 2 9x13" casseroles, multiole cakes or pies. And it looks lovely." Thom: "The stand is a nice touch." Helen, in 2025: "Love that it also has a lid that can be removed."

Anne "pulled it out for a large 4th of July gathering at my yacht club. It got rave reviews"; Susan's family in Brooklyn "have picnics on the roof of their building!" Jackie, in 2025: "I bought these for high-end gift baskets and have received many compliments on the classic beauty of the design". Cherene uses hers "to hold my handmade afghans I gift", and Marilyn "put the picnic quilt I made for her and her family inside".

The sizes are outside measurements. For the shelf and the serving sets built in, the Large Picnic Basket; for a fixed wood handle and a hinged lid, the Large Vintage Picnic Basket. 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 1/2" x 14" x 9 1/2" tall
