These are baskets made of grape vine with cute drop-like shape.
We introduce two sizes, small and large.

Since walnuts are carbonized, You may expect a slight deodorizing effect.

If the basket is shaken too hard, the charcoals may hit each other and break.
Also, please handle these rings with care,
as they may come off if pulled strongly or shaken with the rings.

Place it on your front porch or hang it near a window, hanging from the ceiling or rail light in the living room.
It may also be used as an ornament for the Christmas tree.

It is a pleasure to be able to enjoy the grape vine close at hand in this way.
We hope you will touch it daily so that the vine will become shiny and glossy.

Please choose your favorite size.
