A piece of history, shaped by time—this early 20th-century Shanxi willow oil container tells a story of tradition and craftsmanship. Once an essential vessel for preserving food, its clay interior, now beautifully worn, once ensured an airproof and leakproof seal. The intricate willow weave, softened by age, has developed an exquisite patina, making each piece unique and rich with character.
At nearly half a meter in height, this bottle-style basket commands attention with its bold, organic form. Whether placed as a striking standalone sculpture, incorporated into a curated vignette, or used as a statement vessel, its presence transforms any space. Ideal for collectors who appreciate the unrefined beauty of timeworn artifacts, this rare find bridges past and present—an heirloom piece that speaks of authenticity and exclusivity.
A true collector’s object, its imperfections are part of its soul.

Returns/Retoure
Our products are not newly manufactured - each and every piece is prior-loved, used and found. Our products are beautifully aged and matured and therefore are not `perfect´. We carefully curate our artisan and vintage decor, and clearly communicate prior to purchase what to expect due to the inherent nature of aged decor. As such, we do not accept returns or exchanges. Please check and chose carefully before ordering. If you require more pictures or information you can contact us at info@maison-extravaganza.de
In the event that your order arrives damaged in any way, please email us as soon as possible (within 1-3 days of receipt of package) at info@maison-extravaganza.de with your order number and photos of the item’s condition and packing materials, including the box. We address these on a case-by-case basis and will always work towards a satisfactory solution.
