The surface of Carnival Macchia is a frenzy of color. Dabs of blue, yellow, red, and green cross the exterior of the undulating body. A green lip wrap outlines the serpentine mouth of the piece. The lip follows the body, bowing dramatically to allow full view into the bright yellow interior.

This bold handblown work measures approximately nine inches in height and is signed by Chihuly. A custom-designed Plexiglas display vitrine and a copy of the 152-page publication Chihuly alla Macchia adds to the ensemble.

Chihuly's penchant for combining elements together to create a whole is delicately expressed in the handblown Blue Sky Basket Set, and the ethereal transparency of the piece invites marvel. Two pale blue vessels with black lip wraps yield to gravity, their transparent forms exhibiting the subtle characteristics of Chihuly's Basket series. One piece seems to float inside the other while fine lip wraps arc across the composition, adding a refined sense of grace to this 2004 Studio Edition.

Blue Sky Basket Set measures approximately eight inches in height and is signed by the artist. A Plexiglas vitrine is included for presentation and the 148-page publication Chihuly: Baskets will enhance your appreciation of this wonderful series.

Tango Red Persian, a 2004 Studio Edition, embodies the passionate verve of the artist's Persian series. Hot red lines wrap around the fluted bodies of the two handblown elements, coiling out to confront contrasting turquoise lip wraps. Embraced within the larger form, the smaller element asserts itself on a spherical foot. Both pieces seem to sway as they interact with light. This beautiful work, measuring approximately eleven inches across, is signed by Chihuly and is complimented by a Plexiglas vitrine with black base.

Included is the hardcover publication Chihuly Persians, which features fifty-eight color images and an insightful essay by museum curator Tina Oldknow. Tango Red Persian articulates Chihuly's delight in the lively tensions that can be expressed in glass, and in the diverse possibilities of composition in the Persian series.

Starlight Seaform Macchia exhibits the transition from color contrasts and curvature often found in the artist's Seaform series to his Macchia series. Specks and lines cover the midnight blue exterior of this handblown work. A deep orange soaks the interior, opening to clear at the base, revealing a light green spiral. A yellow lip wrap accentuates its wavy contours. This otherworldly Studio Edition measures approximately ten inches across and is signed by Chihuly.

Includes a Plexiglas vitrine with black base and the hardcover publication Chihuly alla Macchia. This book offers 104 color images of the artist's work and an introduction by art historian Richard Hobbs. Conveying elegance with color and form, Starlight Seaform Macchia is a work displaying an intriguing individuality.
