Sophie Conran Large Harvest Basket by Burgon & Ball (Grey)Some garden objects are purely practical, and some are a pleasure to own. This is firmly the second kind.

Some garden objects are purely practical, and some are a pleasure to own. This is firmly the second kind. The Sophie Conran Large Harvesting Basket — made by Burgon & Ball, the Sheffield toolmakers working in steel since 1730 — is the basket you'll find yourself reaching for not because you have to, but because using it makes the simple act of gathering from the garden feel just a little more considered.

It's the kind of piece that earns its place twice over: out in the kitchen garden gathering beans, courgettes, and the first tomatoes; and back indoors as a thing of quiet beauty — holding kindling by the stove, styled with seasonal blooms on a kitchen table, or simply hung on a hook waiting for the next harvest.

The design

Sophie Conran, of the well-known Conran British design dynasty, brings a contemporary country-house sensibility to the Burgon & Ball range. This basket is the result — a piece that manages to be both genuinely useful and genuinely lovely, which is harder to achieve than it sounds.

  • Powder-coated galvanised steel wire in a classic grey — strong, weather-resistant, and built to last years of outdoor use without rusting or losing its finish
  • Open-weave construction — the practical heart of the design. Soil shakes free and rainwater or washing-water drains straight through, so freshly picked produce and cut flowers don't sit in a puddle at the bottom
  • FSC-certified beech wood handle — gently contoured to sit comfortably in the hand, adding a warm, natural counterpoint to the cool grey steel
  • Brass seal engraved with the Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball logo — a discreet mark of provenance and the finishing touch that signals this is the genuine article

Generously sized

This is the large basket in the range, measuring approximately 37cm long by 26cm wide by 30cm high including the handle. That's enough capacity to gather a proper harvest in one trip — an armful of cut flowers, a glut of runner beans, a row's worth of potatoes, or enough salad and veg for a household rather than a single meal. If you have a smaller plot or want something for lighter picking, Burgon & Ball also make a small version of the same design.

What you'll use it for

  • Harvesting vegetables — beans, courgettes, tomatoes, potatoes, squash, the daily pickings of a productive kitchen garden
  • Cutting flowers — the open weave is ideal for a cutting garden, letting stems breathe and any water drain as you gather dahlias, sweet peas, and cosmos for the house
  • Collecting eggs — for those with hens, the basket is a classic egg-gathering size and shape
  • Carrying tools — trowel, twine, snips, and gloves all travel neatly from shed to plot
  • Indoor styling — kindling by the fire, a centrepiece of seasonal stems, or simply a beautiful object on a dresser or worktop

Made by Burgon & Ball

Burgon & Ball have been making fine garden tools in Sheffield since 1730 — nearly three centuries of metalworking heritage. Today they're endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society and known worldwide for the quality and longevity of their tools and accessories. A Sophie Conran piece carrying the Burgon & Ball name is about as well-credentialled as garden kit gets: thoughtful British design, made by one of the country's most respected toolmakers.

A note on care

The powder-coated steel needs little attention — rinse off soil after use and let it dry, and it will look its best for years. The beech handle benefits from being kept out of prolonged wet; an occasional wipe with a little linseed oil keeps the wood nourished and handsome over time. Store under cover when not in use to protect the handle, and the basket will become one of those garden objects that simply gets better with age and use.

Specifications

  • Dimensions: approximately 37cm long × 26cm wide × 30cm high (including handle)
  • Basket material: powder-coated galvanised steel wire, classic grey
  • Handle: FSC-certified beech wood, contoured
  • Detail: brass Sophie Conran for Burgon & Ball seal
  • Design: open-weave for drainage
  • Use: harvesting, flower cutting, egg collecting, tool carrying, indoor styling
  • Made by: Burgon & Ball (Sheffield, est. 1730)

A genuinely lovely gift for a keen gardener — the kind of present that's used and enjoyed for years rather than tucked away in a cupboard. The combination of the Sophie Conran name, the Burgon & Ball heritage, and the obvious everyday usefulness makes it an easy choice for a milestone birthday, a house-warming, or a thank-you to someone who has everything except, perhaps, the perfect harvest basket.

Love these!
Color: Pink & Beige, Size: Small(fits up to size 7)
Love these! As I write this review, I’m sitting in my recliner with these on. I have had other silicone socks in the past and would like to share a few of the things that I have learned. These fit great! The others were 2-3 sizes too big because you could not order a size. I wear a size 7 women’s shoe. I got the smaller size. I walked around my apartment in my old ones and they got kinda yucky. Now, I sit in my recliner, put them on and chill for a few hours. I now take them off and put in a ziplock bag so they stay nice and clean (no cat hair!). I use them once a week usually on Saturday or Sunday as I’m a working girl. Also, I use Auqaphor before I put them on and put cotton socks on after I’m finished. Your feet will be SO soft. This is not a one and done…I do this every week especially during sandal season! I know this was lengthy and I hope you got some tips.

The dogs like it very much, it produces a lot of noise.
Size: Large, Size: Large
I’m rating this based on my dogs’ response to this toy – they absolutely love it, and it has seen more use without damage than any of their regular throwing toys. At the same time, unless you enjoy, REALLY ENJOY the sound of crunching water bottles, you may not like having this ball in the house. Pros: The rubber outer shell of the ball is durable, and can survive both chewing and pulling forces (as a note, my dogs do not concentrate on chewing - they use it more for play games). It’s big enough for my dogs to play tug of war with it, hooking their teeth in the mesh, and they since it bounces around if they drop or kick it, it makes the game more interesting than rope. They did crush the interior plastic, but they don't really seem to care. It’s much more engaging than a normal ball, and can be modified to hold treats, sticks, rope elements and other external bits, which my shepherd mix loves; he gets bored easily and frequently, and this can actually entertain him. Cons: This toy is loud, and produces repetitive crunching sounds. It is apparently really engaging to chew, and my dogs will produce the horrid plastic crackling up to half an hour at a time. If you let your dogs in and out, it would make a fine outdoor toy, but since I have a dog door, it migrates around to pretty much wherever the dogs are. I kind of hate it, but will probably buy another if they break this one since they enjoy it so much.

Very durable and my Heeler's fave inside toy
Size: Large
My red Heeler loves these balls, second only to Tennis balls but she destroys those within minutes and they are outside only. This is her inside ball. She is hard on toys and has the strongest bite of any dog I've had (shepherds, collies, weimaraners, retrievers, Labs) yet these continue to last. She catches the ball, we play tug of war with it (she places it in hand hand and pulls only when I have a firm grip, she shakes it and flings it. The rubber outside even outlasts the water-bottle like plastic piece inside. Steps holds the ball with her foot and pulls on the rubber with her mouth, stretching it to sometimes twice its size. I pull while shes pulling. This thing gets abused daily and keeps on going. Its the most used toy and she brings it to me to play with every day. Each ball lasts about 6 months before the inside ball is toast and the outer rubber is finally starting to tear/break. which for me in an incredibly long time. If this ball is available to play, she wants it over all others. Shes NEVER gotten a piece off to actually swallow and that alone is worth the price.

Dogs go for this ball every time
Size: Large, Size: Large
My Boston's and Rotti love this ball. I had to get two more. It's great for the Boston's because they can grasp it with the way it's made with the softer rubber. They love the crackle sound. It's just the right size and weight for smaller like the Boston Terrier and Rotti. Easy cleaning, rinses right off.
