Root of the Earth Basket

What it is: One-of-a-kind, hand-carved baskets made from root balls of reclaimed Chinese Fir trees.

Why we love it: These beautiful baskets are made from stumps and root burls of Chinese Fir trees that would otherwise go to waste. Each basket has its own organic shape and is hand-carved to highlight the parent tree's unique markings. Use as a centerpiece, fruit bowl, or as a caddy for tableware. The baskets range in price from $44.00-$95.00 and come in three sizes: Small 8"D x 6.5"H, Medium 13"D x 9"H, Large 16"D x 10"H.

Who we'd give it to: Anyone who appreciates beautiful and hand-made things. The Root of the Earth Basket would also make a stunning Housewarming gift.

Where to get it: From VivaTerra starting at a naturally beautiful $44.00.
