The origins of Autumn Basket date back to 1977 when Chihuly, inspired by a museum collection of aging and collapsing woven fiber baskets, began developing his Basket series in glass. The single Basket form, positioned slightly off center and defined by iridescent yellow, takes center stage against a metallic tangerine background speckled with daubs of cherry-red. Pearlized dots of green dapple the interior of the form, harmonizing with the teal-green lip wrap.
