Contemporary interpretation of a classic willow basket. White and Indigo dyed willow interweave to create Sarah’s striking version of this heritage basket.
Encapsulating style and practicability, Sarah has evolved the round Ose form into what she believes to be it’s ideal size and shape. Perfect for use as a handbag or as a very chic shopping basket.
Sarah has chosen to contrast the beauty of natural white willow with striking dyed willow. The blue is chosen for contrast and to create blended shades of this distinctive colour, in so doing accentuating the beautiful rhythm and flow of this basket. The blue willow is either indigo dyed willow that Sarah has developed and created through the process of natural vat fermentation or through her more recent experiments with cyanotype dyeing, creating a Prussian blue shade.
Handwoven using natural white (stripped Black Maul) willow variety, locally sourced from the Somerset Levels.
Known as an Ose, Gathering, Hen or Skye basket, and documented across Europe since Medieval times, this frame basket involves weaving willow rods around a series of hoops and ribs.
Please note that due to indigo and cyanotype dyed willow varying in shade, each Ose basket is unique in colouration. Also, whilst both dyes have been ‘fixed’, please treat like you would denim material.
Height 38cm x Width 36cm x Depth 28cm with a 19cm opening diameter.
Ose Basket price is inclusive of UK mainland P&P.
