Ormers are a Guernsey shellfish which are gathered from January to April, at the full or new moon and the following two days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe baskets continue to be made by the daughter of Max Gaudion, the last basket maker on Guernsey who, as a retired fisherman, made all his own ponier à cous; he in turn learnt the craft from his uncle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe baskets are traditionally handcrafted with willow, a wire frame, a wooden handle (usually hazel) and a natural hemp rope strap, creating a very strong utilitarian receptacle. They have a flat back which means they can be comfortably worn on the shoulder or hung on the wall. An absolutely beautiful object.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guernsey Willow Baskets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40557219512378,"sku":"O454011301","price":225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0097\/9772\/files\/KreelHangingBasket.jpg?v=1729595719","url":"https:\/\/labourandwait.life\/products\/guernsey-basket","provider":"LABOUR AND WAIT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
