Low Handled Crocheted Basket

$65.00

Your eyes will tell you this piece is soft crocheting but your touch will tell you it’s ceramic. And they both will be right, because clay doesn’t get crocheted, and crocheting generally isn’t hard. But here it is: a sweet and low little handled basket. How? It starts with handcrocheted cotton which is dipped in liquid porcelain, shaped as it dries and fired to temperature. The cotton burns away, leaving a detailed memory of the stitchery. It is light, yet it is strong because porcelain is quite dense. What remains is the amazement. See all the photos to enjoy this one of a kind piece. Sometimes we have several in this pattern, each one naturally different. Yours will be similar in size and stitch patterning to the photos, but will have its own handformed charms.

  • 100% Porcelain
  • Formed from hand-crocheted cotton
  • Sewn and hand-formed into shape
  • Translucent white
  • Great with candies, trinkets, air plants
  • Glows perfectly with a small light
  • Absolutely mindblowing gift
