The baskets have a rounded, low bowl shape with softly curved sides and a beautifully woven structure.

Dimensions vary per basket: the smallest basket measures 16 cm in height and 24 cm in diameter. The largest basket measures 22 cm in height and 32 cm in diameter.

Each basket is handwoven in warm natural bamboo, with subtle variations in colour, shape and weave. The fine woven pattern runs beautifully towards the centre and clearly shows the artisanal character of these Japanese objects. The rounded rims are neatly finished and give the baskets an elegant, calm appearance.

Thanks to their different sizes, the five baskets form a very decorative set. They can be used as storage baskets, decorative bowls, display pieces or atmospheric objects for textiles, dried flowers, fruit, paper goods or small collected items.

The warm honey tone of the bamboo and the natural appearance make this set particularly suitable for a Japanese, wabi-sabi, bohemian, rustic, minimalist or eclectic interior. They also work beautifully in a shop interior, tea room or curated gallery setting.

The baskets are in beautiful vintage condition, with normal signs of age, slight colour variations and small irregularities consistent with age, material and handcraft. See less
