Fruit keeps longer when air can move around it, and it looks better piled in something round. This bowl is woven in a single spiral from the centre outward, so there is no seam and no weak corner where a base would normally be joined.
A bowl with no seam
We start with one long strip and coil it around itself, adding new strips as we go. The joins are tucked under the row above so they disappear. That continuous spiral is slower to make than a flat base, but it gives the bowl a smooth inside and even strength all the way around.

This is our most gifted basket. If you are sending it straight to someone else, we will include a hand-written card at no charge.
A fruit bowl should look like it grew that way. Ours very nearly does.
Over a year or two the green fades fully to straw. The bowl does not weaken, it simply ripens, much like the fruit it holds.
