A round, handwoven rattan laundry basket made by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border. It measures 18 inches across and 14 inches deep, roughly a bushel and a half, with a half-inch hardwood bottom, a hardwood rim and two riveted leather handles. The solid bottom keeps it from twisting when carried full, and the open top makes it a carry basket rather than a hamper. It suits anyone who wants a durable, signed, American-made basket instead of a plastic or fabric hamper; the trim is woven in dyed reed, and a cotton liner, protective feet and a brass plate are optional extras.

This is an extra large round laundry basket, handwoven in the USA by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border. It is woven from rattan reed over a solid hardwood bottom about a half inch thick, with a hardwood rim. Two leather handles are riveted through the weave. The weaver signs the basket.
It measures 18 inches across at the rim and 14 inches deep, and holds a bushel and a half, or a full washer load. The solid bottom lets it be carried full without twisting. It is an open basket with no lid, and the sides flare out slightly from the base. The trim color is woven in as dyed reed, not painted on.
A hand-sewn cotton liner made for this basket, protective feet and an engraved solid brass plate are optional extras. The basket comes open and unlined and is complete without them. The liner lifts the load out in one piece and is machine washable.
