This basket is tightly woven using pliable willow branches, which are sturdy and hold a shape very well. The basket is considered a "gathering" basket for berry gathering, small crop picking, or foraging. The handles are also made of willow branches, but the bark has been stripped to make them more comfortable in the hands. This basket is about 10.5 inches in diameter (it's not perfectly round - slightly oblate) and 4.5 inches tall (again...it's not exactly that height because of the differing width of the branches). The handles go about 2.75 inches higher, making the total height about 7.25 inches. It's in EXCELLENT VINTAGE CONDITION! There are no broken branches, unraveling, stains, or breaks. It's PERFECT!
