Small Vintage Picnic BasketAmish Woven Wooden Basket 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.
• The Size For Two: 15 x 10 1/2 inches at the rim, 7 inches deep, and 12 1/2 inches to the top of the handle: lunch for two with room for the tableware, a wine and cheese picnic, a child's first basket, or the knitting by the chair. It rides on a car seat.
• 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: 15" x 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" tall to the top of the handle; 7" 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.

Evelyn, in 2024: "Perfect for a two person lunch. High quality and sturdy." Matthew: "It is definitely big enough to pack a meal for two with room to spare for table ware." Colton, after a season: "Having used this basket over a few months it is holding up quite well!" Grace: "Not that expensive considering the workmanship."

The liner is optional, sold on this page in four colors. Elaine bought hers "for my knitting projects"; Julie "purchased 2 small picnic baskets to give as wedding gifts!"; Cindy loves "the personalized signature on the bottom, too!"

The sizes are outside measurements. For four, the same basket comes as the Medium Wicker Picnic Basket, and the family size is the Large Vintage; 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: 15" x 10 1/2" x 12 1/2" tall
