An early example of Longaberger craftsmanship, this 1987 handwoven waste basket features a square base and gently flared sides — the kind of straightforward, sturdy design that put Dresden, Ohio on the basket-collecting map.

Its warm honey-brown patina shows 35+ years of character while remaining solid and functional. Perfect for office, craft room, or as part of a vintage Longaberger display.

Approximate size: 10” × 9.5” × 12”.
