Small Round Easter Basket | Rustic Vintage Amish Woven Wicker

• Handcrafted Quality: Rattan reed handwoven over a solid wood bottom, with one bent wood handle arched over the middle and wrapped in a spiral of reed, by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border, and signed by the weaver who made it.
• The Baby's First Size: 10 1/2 inches across, 5 1/4 inches deep and 12 1/2 inches to the top of the handle: a baby's first Easter basket, and light enough for a two-year-old to carry.
• The Handle Stays Up: The handle is fixed in place, and the 12 1/2 inches are measured to the top of it. The woven basket itself is 5 1/4 inches deep.
• Measures: 10 1/2" diameter x 12 1/2" tall, to the top of the handle. 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: Two liners are sewn for this basket and sold right on this page: a plain liner in cream, wine, blue or green, and a pastel liner in pink, purple, yellow or emerald, each tied in with two bonnet ties. An engraved solid brass plate and protective feet are optional too. The basket ships empty, with no liner, grass or eggs.
• 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.

It is the traditional round shape of a vintage Easter basket, with the handle arched over the middle. Robin chose it for a first Easter: "We ordered this for our baby girl's first Easter. We wanted something she could use forever and this is perfect right down to the name plate." Judy's was a "Beautiful basket for my grandson's first Easter."

Until 2021 this basket was sold as the Medium Round Easter Basket. The size names moved down a step that year and the baskets kept their measurements, so a medium round bought before then is this basket. For the same depth with a little more length, the Small Oval Easter Basket is 12 x 9; one size up, today's Medium Round Easter Basket is 12 1/2 inches across and 6 1/4 deep. The sizes are the outside of the rim.

A liner ordered with the basket arrives tied in place, and a pastel liner on the plain basket is a favorite combination. The engraved brass plate takes a name, a date or a short line, up to 22 characters on each of two lines, and is screwed to the front band with two small brass screws before the basket ships. A plate can also be ordered on its own later, screws included, for a basket you already have. It keeps working after Easter: Susan's husband gave her one because "He knows that I like to crochet and pick the perfect present."

Sizes can sell out in the weeks before Easter; the notify-me button on this page emails you when the next one is ready in the Shipping Barn. An Old Order Amish family weaves it by hand on the Iowa-Missouri border, in the same community as the rest of our Easter baskets, and the weaver signs the bottom before it leaves the farm. Standard shipping is free, and rush delivery is offered at checkout when Easter 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 wove it. Like every basket we sell, it carries our lifetime guarantee, and returns are no questions asked.

Measures: 10 1/2" diameter x 12 1/2" tall
