Antique Chinese Wine Basket

Antique Chinese Wine Basket with Mud Coating

Once used to store and transport rice wine, this small Chinese wine basket is a tactile piece of rural tradition. Handwoven from natural fibers and coated in a layer of protective mud, it reflects a time-honored method of preserving liquids before the use of glass or metal vessels. The earthy coating adds a beautifully raw, sculptural quality, while the woven texture peeks through with subtle intricacy.

Compact in size but rich in history, it’s a unique accent for shelves, consoles, or layered vignettes—bringing an organic, storied element to any space.
