In early days, vintner’s baskets encased glass or ceramic jugs to keep them cool for serving guests or for selling at a local market. The traditional shaping is even more notable as it might have originally been sized for larger containers. Wicker is bold and simple with a mix of classic patterns. Two handles at the sides that once would have balanced the heaviness of a full jug combine with a back grip that would have aided in pouring. Today, this rustic French country design will only enhance the beauty of fresh-cut blooms, faux florals, stems and natural branches as a display piece for living areas, sunroom and dining spaces.
