Description

Sgiob Èireannach (Irish Skib)

These baskets are culturally very important to the Irish. They were made originally to strain and serve potatoes, acting as both a sieve and a table, and were often huge and robust to sit a big family around. They were brought back into public knowledge by Joe Hogan, and nowadays, they are a bit finer and more artistic, made for hanging on walls, or being a centrepiece on a big table (but I welcome you to strain potatoes through it too!). This one features the Joyce Country style ‘windmill’ centre, and has three strong colours of stripped buff willow, Flanders Red and Dicky Meadows.
