The Witty Butt is a strong working round log basket. Its design was once used for general-purpose farm baskets in Somerset and South West England, and it is now used mostly as a strong basket for logs. It is woven in the traditional Buff willow, with a stripe of both dark peeled and white peeled willow, and a third stripe of natural green/brown willow, showing all the willow types from the region the old design is from.
Width 19" x H 16.5" (approximately 19" to top of handles)
Width 49cm x H 42cm (approximately 19" to top of handles)
All baskets are handmade by John in small batches in his workshop in the market town of Lanark, UK, using only UK-grown willows.
Delivery is £7.95 for this style.
I try to supply willow colours as close as possible to the natural colours illustrated in the photos above, give or take slight variation in natural willow bark. Whilst the colours shouldn't be dramatically different, please allow for some slight variations in natural willow colours. .
