This amphora rattan log basket is a lined wicker log basket, hand-woven from kubu rattan with a green Cordura lining and a fixed handle. It stands 43 cm to the rim, 52 cm to the handle, and 48 cm across at its widest on a square 33 x 30 cm base, weighing 2.3 kg empty. It holds logs, firewood and kindling.
An amphora is a storage jar that swells at the belly, and this basket borrows the shape: the narrow base keeps the footprint down while the wide belly carries the capacity. That is what you want when the only free space is the gap between a stove and a wall. Cordura lines it because bark and splinters are hard on a softer lining.

FAQs
Will it fit in the gap beside my stove?
Measure at floor level and at rim height, because they differ. The base is 33 x 30 cm but the basket bulges to 48 cm across at the belly, so the widest point is what has to clear. Height is 43 cm to the rim, 52 cm with the handle upright.
Is the belly shape stable when it is full?
Yes. The widest point sits low and the base is square rather than round, so the weight settles at the bottom and the basket does not rock when you reach into it.
Can I keep it outside?
It is built for indoor use. A covered porch will not hurt it, but sustained damp marks rattan and loosens a weave over time. Our garden range is the one for anything living outdoors.
How do I clean the Cordura?
Empty it and wipe the lining with a damp cloth. Being synthetic, it does not soak up the way a natural lining would. Let it dry before refilling.
