Are the bubbles open (meaning, can you put something through the holes) or not?
I'm not convinced this is a Dale Chihuly piece but haven't concluded my research (he typically signed his pieces rather than having an initial mark, and worked more in colored rather than clear glass) - was it sold by Chihuly or one of his representatives? Is there another reason you think this might be by him?
Thanks to confirm at your convenience,
Delia
Dear Delia,
I refer to your note of 14 November regarding my vase.
Yes, all the holes in the vase are open.
They're decorative only, and they're located at the top of the vase.
The attached photos hopefully highlight this for you.
The vase was a gift to me by friends in Colorado shortly after a Chihuly exhibition in Denver.
It was a special gift to me, and I was advised that it was a Chihuly vase.
However, I do not have any paperwork to support this.
Hopefully, this information will be of further assistance to you.
Good morning, Jillian,
Thank you for the additional information and for your patience; this appraisal is completed now.
Have a great week,
Delia
