Life's a Picnic Basket

With this basket, life can be a picnic - and one with all the fixings, like homemade potato salad and bread & butter pickles.  Made by Optima, an English company and  leader in wicker hampers, this is their traditional, deluxe 4-person set.  And it is mint; seemingly never used, it includes all 4 plates, cutlery, mugs, glasses, wine opener, thermos (for the wine), wine chiller bag (for more wine), and of course - because we're civilized picnickers - tartan napkins and blanket.  

The basket has leather straps for closure, and a sturdy leather handle so you can carry it like a suitcase (because it's a hefty bugger).  With tags still attached, this is a great set to gift or keep.
