Decorative Basket "Kalathi" - Kèramos

The "Kalathi" decorative basket by Kèramos is a glazed ceramic piece designed to bring together function, colour and decorative presence. Its shape suggests a small handled basket, while the hand-painted prickly pear design on the bright blue background gives it a lively Mediterranean feel, immediately connected to the island’s landscape and light.

Measuring 14 x 13 x 11 cm, it can be used as a small object holder, a catch-all, a decorative container, a cachepot for small succulents, or a vase-style accent for light arrangements. The pale interior contrasts beautifully with the colourful exterior, making the piece suitable for entrance tables, shelves, consoles and any corner of the home that could use a handcrafted accent.

Main features

A decorative basket with a sunlit Mediterranean feel

What makes "Kalathi" distinctive is its balance of practicality and character. It is useful as a small holder, yet it has enough visual strength to stand on its own as a decorative piece. The prickly pears, with their green pads and red fruit, recall the warmer, more spontaneous side of the Mediterranean landscape, while the blue background keeps the design bright and fresh.

The arched handles are not just a decorative flourish: they define the basket’s silhouette and give it a gently sculptural presence. It can therefore be displayed empty, used for small everyday items, or styled with natural accents such as a small succulent in its own pot, dried flowers or lightweight decorative elements.

Suggestions for use

Place it in an entrance area as a catch-all, on a console as a small holder, in the living room as a decorative accent or in the kitchen as a colourful detail. If used as a cachepot, it is best to keep the plant inside its own inner pot and avoid prolonged direct contact with water or wet soil.

It pairs beautifully with light surfaces, natural stone, wood, linen, colourful ceramics and bright interiors. To preserve the gloss of the glazed ceramic and the painted decoration, gentle hand cleaning is recommended, avoiding abrasive products.

Kèramos ceramic tradition

Kèramos creates artisan-decorated ceramics, turning everyday shapes into pieces that bring personality to the home. In this basket, the prickly pear motif becomes a direct reference to Mediterranean vegetation and to the bold colours of the island.
