A mid century wooden handled crate style basket painted in its original shade of green and shaped for long days in the orchard. The slatted sides allowed air to circulate around pears and apples as they were gathered and carried from country farms to village open air markets. The basket’s sturdy form and softened paint tell the story of its working past while making it a charming and useful accent today. It sits beautifully on a kitchen counter, garden table, or market stand and brings the nostalgia of rural life into everyday living.
