Chihuly Jasmine Basket
Jasmine Basket evokes the continued grace and timeless elegance of Chihuly's Basket series. Two golden
yellow vessels, accented with distinctive contrasting lip and body wraps, compose this 2010 Studio
Edition. The smaller element is endearingly cocooned within the environment of its larger counterpart,
together conveying an air of gracious unity. Hand blown and signed by the artist, the pair together measure
approximately 8" across. Included are a specially designed Plexiglas vitrine and a companion book,
"Chihuly Baskets." The 112-page hardcover publication features companion DVD and sixty-seven color
images.
