Description from the seller
Pair of artisanal ceramic baskets from La Bisbal d’Empordà
This exquisite pair of artisanal ceramic baskets comes from La Bisbal d’Empordà, a historic cradle of Catalan ceramics and a byword for tradition, craftsmanship, and quality. They are two unique handmade pieces that combine functionality with decorative value, featuring a warm, timeless aesthetic.
The baskets are made of high-quality ceramic, with a finish in dark earthy brown tones, slightly mottled with natural color variations that reveal the handmade workmanship and the artisanal firing process. The surface features subtle horizontal grooves, the result of wheel-forming, which add texture, depth and a very authentic organic character. Each mark is intentional and part of the piece's identity, making none exactly alike another.
Both baskets share the same design, but they come in two different sizes, which makes them an ideal set to use together or separately. The larger basket has a more open and generous silhouette, perfect as the centerpiece, while the smaller one is ideal as a complement, creating a balanced and harmonious pair.
One of the most distinctive elements is its top handle, carefully integrated into the body of the basket and lined with woven plant fiber (probably wicker or esparto). This detail not only provides strength and comfort but also introduces a visually and tactilely appealing contrast between the dark ceramic and the natural light tone of the fiber. The handle reinforces the rustic, Mediterranean character of the pieces, evoking traditional craftsmanship and everyday objects reinterpreted with elegance.
These baskets are very versatile and can be used for both decorative and practical purposes:
As a centerpiece with dried or fresh fruits.
For storing bread, utensils, or textiles
As decorative planters (with inner pot)
On shelves, sideboards, or in kitchens to add warmth.
In spaces of rustic, Mediterranean, wabi-sabi, or natural-contemporary style.
Thanks to their understated design and premium materials, they fit perfectly in both modern interiors and more traditional settings.
Buying these baskets is a bet on authentic La Bisbal craftsmanship, on durable pieces with soul and a story behind them. They are not mass-produced objects, but creations that celebrate the know-how of generations of ceramicists.
Unique pieces, handmade.
