This unique Pottery Base Basket blends strength and artistry in one beautiful piece. It features a sturdy clay or ceramic base, designed with an odd number of holes along the top to create a balanced yet distinctive weave. Crafted using round reed, the basket offers both durability and a natural, textured look. Decorative beads, seagrass, jute and other weaving materials can be thoughtfully incorporated throughout the design, adding charm and character. The basket is finished with an elegant Gretchen braid for a refined, handcrafted touch. Perfect for display or everyday use, this Pottery Base Basket is as functional as it is eye-catching. The instructional PBS video for this basket is also available to watch for free on YouTube. Use the link below to access the video.
