The Artistry Behind the Ship & Lighthouse Lid The ivory-toned lid inlay features an original maritime engraving by master artist Linda Layden, who has spent over four decades perfecting her craft. Her celebrated pieces are displayed in fine coastal boutiques, galleries, and museums across the world.

  • Original Hand-Etching: Every tall ship and coastal lighthouse scene begins as an original, hand-etched design by Linda Layden.

  • Cruelty-Free Resin Casting: A precision mold is crafted for an open-cast pour of our specialized resin blend—preserving classic seafaring artistry without harming wildlife.

  • Hand-Sanded & Hand-Inked: Once cured, every inlay is carefully removed, hand-sanded, and finished with fine India Ink to bring the sailing ship, ocean waves, and lighthouse beam to life in crisp detail.

A Piece of Maritime History Originating aboard Nantucket’s lightships in the mid-1800s, Lightship Baskets were first woven by crewmen out of rattan staves, cane weavers, and wooden bases to pass the time during long deployments at sea. Over time, these rugged maritime vessels evolved into coveted symbols of New England coastal elegance.
