Baskets Made of Glass

 


Inside the Frank Lloyd Wright home at Taliesin West is where we saw the last of the Chihuly glass pieces. They were placed on two low tables next to the window.  They call these "Golden Celadon Baskets".


Chihuly calls these baskets because he originally patterned these smaller pieces after some Native American baskets that he had seen.  They were older baskets and many were misshapen.  He saw the beauty of the strange shapes and created glass to look like them.


The colors of these pieces fit beautifully into the interior of the home.  They looked like they belonged there.
