The Appalachian butt basket, also known as a buttocks, melon, or egg basket, is a 19th-century ribbed basket design from Europe brought to North America by settlers. Primarily used in Appalachia to collect eggs and gather fruits, vegetables, and other farm goods, butt baskets are valued for their sturdy, balanced design. They are traditionally hand-woven from materials like white oak and are considered difficult to make, featuring a distinctive, durable structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Split white oak\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5\"H to top of handle x 15.75\"W x 15.25\"D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInventory# \u003c\/strong\u003eVA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"villageantiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45070566686920,"sku":null,"price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0152\/9066\/3012\/files\/IMG_8109.png?v=1777650893","url":"https:\/\/villageantiquesonline.com\/products\/appalachian-butt-basket","provider":"Village Antiques and Interiors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
