These are small rectangular trugs in full unpeeled willow, woven shallow with square corners and a hessian lining fitted inside. A handle arches over the middle. Small, medium and large are sold singly or as a set of three.
Herb and salad picking, sowing seed or gathering eggs are what this size is for, and the smallest will sit on a windowsill. Brush the lining out dry rather than rinsing it: unsealed willow and hessian both hold water for a long time.

Please be aware, colours may vary slightly as our products are made from natural materials.
The process of basket weaving with willow is naturally sustainable due to the relatively quick growth of the plant fibres. The artisans use traditional weaving methods and techniques to create highly decorative, but durable, pieces.

FAQs
How small is the small one, really?
26 x 16 cm on the base and 10 cm deep, at 250 g. It holds a good handful of cut herbs, a punnet of raspberries or a morning’s eggs, and it sits on a windowsill without dominating it.
Is the hessian stitched in?
It is fitted into the basket rather than woven through the willow, and it is the same jute cloth across all three sizes. If you need to know whether it lifts clear for washing, ask us and we will check one here before you order.
Should I buy this or the oval trug?
This one if you want the smaller of the two ranges or you want square corners that sit flush on a potting bench. The oval if you want more room: every size in that range is bigger, and the large gives 40 x 30 cm against 38 x 27 cm here.
Can I rinse the soil out under a tap?
Brush it out dry instead. The willow is unsealed and the hessian holds water, so a rinse leaves both damp for a long time. A stiff brush over the lining clears most of what a day in the garden puts in it.
