I went shopping on line and found they are out of my price range:

Now, Frey's baskets sell at the Karma gallery in New York for $20,000 to $100,000, to museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and to contemporary collectors such as Carol Finley, a board member of the Dia Art Foundation.Apr 26, 2024
