The Artistry Behind the Ship & Lighthouse Lid
The resin lid inlay showcases an original maritime engraving by master artist Linda Layden, whose etched creations have been exhibited in galleries, museum stores, and coastal shops around the globe for more than 40 years.

Original Hand-Etching: Every sailing vessel and coastal beacon begins as a hand-etched original by Linda Layden.

Cruelty-Free Resin Casting: Using a custom mold of Linda's original engraving, each inlay is open-cast in our specialized resin blend—preserving traditional maritime etching artistry without harming wildlife.

Hand-Sanded & Hand-Inked: Once cured, every lid is individually hand-sanded and inked with fine India Ink so the intricate rigging, ocean swells, and lighthouse tower stand out in crisp contrast.

A Piece of Maritime History
First crafted aboard Nantucket’s lightships in the mid-1800s, Lightship Baskets were originally woven by crewmen to pass the quiet hours during long deployments at sea. Over the decades, these utilitarian maritime vessels evolved into prized emblems of New England coastal style.
