These traditional Finnish pounders are made in Europe.

When new, the birch baskets have a very light color. After years of use, they develop a refined, intense, deep, dark patina.

The pounders were originally used as mushroom baskets. Picking fruit and wild mushrooms is a popular autumn activity in England.

Every Finnish household has a pounder for picking mushrooms in the fall.

The baskets are versatile and can be used in the garden, for the bathroom, or in the kitchen.

These unique rectangular pounders are very durable.
