This piece is a vivid example of Chihuly’s iconic Macchia series—renowned for its bold color juxtapositions and spontaneous, painterly surface. The vase features a rich, saturated red exterior paired with contrasting interior tones and signature lip-wrap detailing, creating a dynamic interplay of color, light, and form. The undulating rim and fluid silhouette give the piece a sense of movement, as if caught mid-bloom.

The Macchia series, whose name derives from the Italian word for “spot,” reflects Chihuly’s fascination with unexpected color combinations and the expressive potential of glass. Each work is unique, embodying the artist’s improvisational approach and mastery of large-scale glassblowing techniques.

Adding to its desirability, this vase was included in the landmark 2012 Dallas Arboretum exhibition—an internationally recognized outdoor installation that showcased Chihuly’s work in dialogue with nature across one of Texas’s most prestigious garden settings. See less
