Gorgeous Christopher Hawthorne handblown vase measuring 18-1/2” in height, 9” wide and 3” in depth.  There are no chips or cracks but there are a few naturally occurring bubbles in the glass as well as a hairline scratch which is visible only upon close inspection.  Hues of pink and purple as well as gold and silver embellishments.  It is signed Hawthorne and X7.  I am unsure as to X7 marking.  As you will notice, the glass also has murrines and silver/gold applications.  A very skillfully crafted piece!  Please do look at all pictures as they are part of the description. As you may be aware, Chris Hawthorne is well-known for his large and colorful, loosely-handled blown glass artwork.  His works are exhibited/displayed in the collections of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston, The Muskgon Ar
