Muffin Basket

Muffin Basket - a round bottom to round top basket hand woven of brown ash (black ash) by Maine basket maker Stephen Zeh.

A round bottom to round top basket with and gently curved sides. Two hand carved side handles are securely notched into the solid hand carved rims. A double wrap lashes the rims solidly to the top of the basket. The finely woven sun-burst bottom is slightly raised in the center for stability. The size of the Muffin Basket, about eight inches diameter, is just right for serving two to four.

Artist's Notes:

The Muffin Basket's design is based very much on the One Bushel Corn Basket with sides that curve inward back at the top and the two hand carved side handles. I wanted a solid feel for the Muffin Basket. The uprights are beveled to allow the substantial heft of the weavers to lie nicely along the form of the basket.

Collector's Comments

“We use the muffin basket at our dinner table nightly for serving rolls. Needless to say - I love the baskets. I enjoy using and looking at them as often as possible. I truly cherish them.”
