pen basket

Look for organizing features that make everyday use easier: internal dividers or multiple compartments for sorting pens and tools; hinged or snapping and indexed lids for secure closure and stacking; built-in handles on baskets for carrying; and nesting sets that save space when not in use.

Shoppers use them as pen and pencil holders on desks, makeup brush cups or organizers, and small home storage for keys, accessories, toiletries, toys, or decorative plant holders.

Common colors and finishes include blush/pink with gold accents, green glazes, blue tints, gray, black, white, and cream; several ceramic pieces are described with a glazed or glossy finish.
