About the Item

Centuries ago, a woven reed fisherman’s basket such as this would have been common in rural China as an everyday item, used until it became worn through. This example from the mid-19th century remains in beautiful condition, lightly darkened with neutral brown color and subtle wear. The willow and reed weave has worn beautifully with time but remains intact - a true testament to the maker’s skill. Today, we love these woven fishing baskets as elegant waste bins, laundry hampers or storage containers.
