A shallow rectangular tray in full double steamed willow, made in small, medium and large, each one bare or with a removable white cotton lining. Steaming it twice before weaving is what makes the willow this dark, and the colour sits in the wood rather than on it.
Shallowness is the working feature: nothing sinks out of sight, which is why these end up in drawers, on worktops holding condiments, and on dressing tables. A lining covers the weave and stops small items catching; bare is easier to brush out.

FAQs
What does double steamed actually mean?
The willow is steamed twice with the bark still on before it is woven. That draws the tannins into the willow and darkens it right through, so the colour is in the wood rather than applied to the surface, and a scuff does not reveal a paler layer underneath.
Will it fit in a kitchen drawer?
The small is 32 x 21 cm and 7.5 cm deep, which suits a standard drawer; the large at 39 x 30 x 10 cm is more of a worktop or shelf tray. Measure the drawer interior rather than the front panel.
What is the difference between the lined and unlined trays?
The lined version has a removable white cotton lining, which covers the weave and stops small items catching. On the small size the lining also brings the internal depth down, from 7.5 cm to 6 cm.
Can I use it for food?
For wrapped and whole items, yes. Bare willow is not a surface for anything unwrapped and damp, so use the lined version or a cloth if you are serving bread or fruit directly.
