This whimsical scalloped lip cachepot /planter basket’s weave is loosely patterned after the willow plaited weave of a traditional Polish Tatza basket. It was handcrafted into the plaited design you see in the photos using about twelve buff willow rods per plaited weaver (buff willow is willow without the bark). The base has a more complex plaited band all around which provides a slightly elevated pedestal form. The assorted colors are due to the different type of willow rods used, which gives it that rich natural earthy hue.

This beauty measures 8” x 9” H/W; 6½” diameter base; interior 7½” x 8½” H/W; 6½” interior base diameter; weight 10 oz. In excellent condition with age-appropriate wear. Though the label is long gone, this beauty was handcrafted in the Philippines sometime in the 1980s. If planning to use for a live potted plant, make sure the plant’s pot has a saucer or liner to prevent damage to the bottom. Photographed in the round to show all sides and nuances of its design and construction.

Visually pleasing to the eye with great textural interest, its complementary design is the perfect accent to plop a lush plant into and to add a warm earthy vibe in any space.
