Vintage Tenganan Lidded Basket - Bali, 1990s

Handwoven lidded basket made in Bali from natural ata vine - a tough, root-like fibre valued for its durability and fine texture. Crafted using traditional techniques from the village of Tenganan, where each piece is woven by hand, boiled, sun-dried, and finally smoked over coconut husks to achieve its warm, caramel tone and strength.
This small basket, with its rounded base and tall flared lid, shows the precision and rhythm of true craftsmanship. The weave is tight and consistent, giving it a sculptural quality that feels both modern and timeless - a perfect example of how Balinese artisans balance utility and beauty.
We love how calm and timeless this looks: quietly detailed, endlessly easy to place. Ideal for holding jewellery, spices, or simply as a decorative object that brings warmth and texture to any space.

NOTE ON ATAVINE CRAFT FROM TENGANAN
In the Balinese village of Tenganan, artisans work with ata - a climbing vine native to the region - to produce finely woven baskets and boxes. Each piece can take days to complete, and the final smoking process gives it the rich tone and subtle sheen that make Tenganan craft instantly recognisable worldwide.
