All Tintsaba baskets are graded according to technical skill and design difficulty.

GRADES

Master Weaver Collection (baskets only)

These baskets are technically perfect and are judged to be unique. These one of a kind baskets are usually produced by our Master Weavers. Once graded in this category the basket is numbered and certified.

 

This Master Weaver category is so stringent that there may be years when no baskets are selected.
