Oval Tatza Basket - Cherry Chung
Basket/wall piece made with English willow.
This basket is perfect as a centre piece on the table. When not in use, it would look beautiful hung on the wall. It is a nod to what two persimmons is all about, a functional item being decorative as it is.
The Tatza is a Polish bread basket, also known as a Celtic Knot basket. This is its larger version that we exclusively commissioned from willow artist Cherry Chung.
The colour and size of each basket varies so please choose the one that would fit your preference and the space.
