Baotou Oil Basket
The Baotou oil basket is woven from red willow, then lined with old white linen paper and coated with pig’s blood or horse blood. Though the manufacturing technique may seem simple, it actually relies entirely on skill.
Features: The Baotou oil basket is both oilproof and preserves the flavor of stored oil, and it is lightweight for easy transport. It was an essential item in ancient oil mills and distilleries (breweries).
