 Small enough to hold in cupped hands, the Bull Rush Trug is limited to ten numbered editions. Handcrafted from a harmonized combination of wood varieties and also available in pure Ash, this tiny trug lends itself to the storing of handmade sweets or the presentation of small gifts. A versatile piece for the collector, it can also be used as a vanity tray or a keepsake for jewellery. Limited edition trugs in this series will be released in small, numbered batches throughout the calendar year.

 Handcrafted using traditional steam bending methods and inspired by boat building techniques local to Crisp’s workshop and home in rural east England, the trug features an overlapping construction akin to the clinker hulls of Fenland boats. Its strong yet light structure incorporates copper nail and rove fixings as a further nod to boat building traditions, and whether nesting one inside another like matryoshka dolls or displayed as a solitary sculptural piece, the trug will sway and rock, boat-like, as it catches the wind. Fashioned from carefully sourced wood varieties that change with each new season, the trug is finished in a natural wax oil.
