Comfortably proportioned for the foraging of seasonal ingredients such as spring garlic, hedgerow berries, wild hops, and field mushrooms, the Foraging Trug is also a practical yet elegant vessel for the storage and display of vegetables and fruits, whether on the pantry shelf or kitchen counter. Equally suited to both gastronomic ventures and as a sculptural statement piece, the Foraging Trug is a versatile heritage investment.

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 features 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.
