wicker basket

Braided reed holder

A wicker basket is a container woven from flexible plant materials—typically willow, rattan, or reed.

The term is slightly redundant since wicker refers to the weaving technique, but the phrase emphasizes the material: She carried a wicker basket to the farmers market.

Wicker baskets range from decorative storage to picnic hampers.
