The colours of its bird figurine are atypical for Chalet. The unknown’s overall bird figurine shape and pose is markedly different – birds on the verified Chalet are much more upright. The pose of the Chalet birds is “perching” – not “nesting.” The tail position and shape are different in both – the unknown piece’s tail is upright not straight out, it is neither solidly coloured or clear crystal, and there are more numerous and closer together folds in the “fan” of its tail. https://www.chaletvintageartglass.ca/articles/l1yp98bvlqnr5omozne0uzyv722uwl monthly 0.5 2025-12-23 https://www.chaletvintageartglass.ca/articles/chalet-silver-and-gold monthly 0.5 2025-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/f0c61279-49d9-4502-99c6-a94ae8ccb6ba/bruno+at+chalet.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Silver and Gold - Make it stand out 1965.

According to several of the Chalet artists, the cranberry apple was in honour of the McIntosh apple which is grown in many orchards around Cornwall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/bcfafd0c-0756-46cc-89b9-81486db80ca8/pear+bookends.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Everyday - Make it stand out The set of little orange ashtrays directly behind them is also quite special as both are etched with the rare “Chalet Canada Cornwall” signature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/84aa058d-2f90-40d7-baf1-8a108b54b0b3/special+order+1+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Everyday - Make it stand out Photographs courtesy of Jeremiah Shaver. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/902dd512-cfd5-4f4c-add2-7639dc5911c8/special+order+2.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Everyday - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/ad74ddcc-10b4-4e32-b505-54ac007adb13/Grace+newspaper+ad.JPG The Articles (old) - Chalet Everyday - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/2e32c0e5-ec6a-430b-8c2d-273cb8faf060/Ottawa+Citizen+for+page.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Everyday - Make it stand out October 3, 1964 notice in the Ottawa Citizen which is a division of the Postmedia Network, Inc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/dc065125-4f71-4edc-80ec-2e2a488a1d6c/Toronto+Star+for+page.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Everyday - Make it stand out Featured in the travel section of the May 6, 1972 edition of The Toronto Star.

The Murano centerpiece on the left is frequently misidentified as a piece by Chalet. In fact, I purchased it as such in a Toronto antique store when I was a very new collector. I was disappointed, when I learned that it was not but my mother was very happy to give it a new home! I am showing it here with this etched “Chalet Canada” centerpiece, at right, from the collection of Cindy Bishop-Laughlin. This is an excellent example of how Chalet was influenced by Murano but then “made Chalet.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/62de5c65-32de-43f2-9e04-9a1a432ecb5e/bowl+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Chalet bowl on left and Murano bowl at right. The base is much higher on the Italian piece – less organic looking. The Chalet bowl is also frequently mistaken for a piece from the Belgian glasshouse of Val St. Lambert. More regarding that glasshouse that follows. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/b66e65e5-2a50-451e-9ba1-8f7d4cbbb4c1/side+fin+vase+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Chalet vase on left and Murano vase at right. The Chalet piece is signed with the engraved ‘Canada Art” signature. If it was not, I doubt if I would have identified it as a piece of Chalet. To date, a unique ”made Chalet” vase and easy to see from where identification confusion would occur. Stephen Malcolmson is its extremely fortunate owner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/5909410f-a174-4ac3-924e-89d45f0593a3/fruit+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Chalet fruit pieces are in top row. The apples and pears in bottom row are Murano – Alfredo Barbini. You will note that the sets in the middle are bookends. Chalet did produce bookends as well which are not as common. The gold dust fill in Chalet fruit is limited to the applied crystal leaves – never in the sommerso orb of colour.

The blue/green 2-tone Murano bull figurine is very often thought to be Canadian. However, although Chalet did not make a bull figurine, it is believed that Lorraine Glass Industries did although I can not show a verified Lorraine piece at this time.

The “id tell” for these two pieces is that only in the case of some small candleholders did Chalet grind the mold marks off the bases of their bonboniere. The Chalet candleholder bonboniere tend to have a very flat wider base. You can tell how easily misidentification can occur as some Murano bonboniere have base mold marks as well although many more are ground smooth.

The most obvious difference between the two is their size – the Chalet owl is much larger at a hair over 5” while the Ronneby is just 3 ½.” Shown in the bottom row – Chalet, Ronneby, and Ronneby. Please note that Chalet did not produce this figurine in one solid colour. Clear owls from the collection of Deborah Patterson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/6893e9fd-3b02-4b21-ab2e-1d0407e25544/owl+gallery+2.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Chalet avventurina owl on left from the collection of Cindy Bishop-Laughlin and Ronneby sfumato owl at right from the collection of Deborah Patterson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/0d77346c-efdc-4fce-b591-b7082f84ce3a/fish+pair.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Chalet piece at left and Swedish piece on right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/4d330a83-ff3a-4dc5-bd7f-413a042de9b4/Marcolin+gold.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out No. This is a tree from FM Ronneby Konstglas/Marcolin.

There really is no Chalet “kissing cousin” in this style. However, this form is one that that comes up regularly for discussion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/905b8121-2340-4070-95ad-2b4226e20498/5th+Avenue+elephant+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Chalet on left and 5th Avenue at right. Regarding unmarked pieces, the “id tell” is not the quality, weight or colouring as the 5th Avenue piece is weighty, beautifully made and with a smooth polished base and Chalet had so many colour variations and exceptions that colour is not usually a stand-alone determinant. The “tell” is the positioning of the ears on the Chinese piece. Chalet ears on their elephant figurines are consistently rounded, tucked to the head and back – not down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/b20998af-4807-4e7b-81ae-1492054a1b86/Crystal+Brand+ribbon+bowl+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Chalet bowl at left and Crystal Brand bowl at right. Both companies made these forms in many other colours. The Chinese bowl is much smaller than the Chalet piece and is not at all heavy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/063c3e7b-eb63-4e94-b572-a51de63c911c/CTMQSUPN5009_01.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Another piece I bought as an inexperienced collector thinking it was Chalet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/fd9c5db7-377b-413f-b024-9c90d6b341e9/Joy+Rains+basket.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/f0528f6c-bbdb-4633-83db-fb0f29470b27/Joy+Rains+5th+Avenue+basket+label.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Chalet also never produced a mini basket in clear crystal.

The company, located in Osaka, is still in operation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/ad4f3728-28b1-4771-863d-ebb8ada918b8/Japanese+vase+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Chalet etched “Chalet Canada” vase at left from the collection of Deborah Patterson and a vase from the Japanese Sanyu Glass Factory Ltd glasshouse at right.

You will often find this piece signed with other glasshouse names (e.g. Langham Glass) but retaining a gold crown-shaped sticker retaining a “Best Art Glass Foreign) import/export label. Dish at bottom right is made by Viking Glass. Both of these are upon occasion identified as Chalet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/cfd5326d-e953-42f3-b8d1-b21d5d1c7bdb/Chalet+and+Kris+owl+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Unless you have 2 together – impossible to tell apart. In this pair, the Chalet figurine is the taller on the right. The shorter owl to its left is produced by Kristaluxus (the Riekes family had close personal ties to the owners) was produced for Riekes Crisa distribution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/162c9ecf-3d46-455c-a54c-7a3d550f39b3/Whale+comparison.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Chalet whale at left and Mexican whale at right.

To date, there has been no confusion regarding these forms as I am sure most collectors are not aware of either.

So many collectors ask;” Are these identical?” Yes – reason is simple – Chalet had the same molds. However, please be aware that Chalet only produced this style in this pose and in clear crystal in 1,2,3 and 4 owl configurations. Anything in colour or with the ”tilted head” pose (see directly below) is Don Shepherd for DAS, Glass America or Blenko. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/0decc277-4837-429d-9aaf-2b1419aad2a4/GA+owl+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/c1838801-92b3-4d10-96e6-7c13fe8304c5/complete+Glass+America+catalogue+page+%282%29.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/a09a546a-7b64-4b05-a8b8-990177bc44f7/triple+marked+vase+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Bearing both the Glass America and Chalet indicia.

The differences between it and the Viking vase at right are obvious - their bases, the Viking piece is glass not crystal and the size. Many swung vases are large pieces that can be used as floor vases - this is not the case for Chalet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/e16f7f84-0490-48df-aa05-0dfa24a5090a/Viking+swung+vase.JPG The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out A Viking Glass swung vase. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/7ff0441e-7602-4d29-9910-1f7553aa4c7d/gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Chalet Artistic Glass pieces all in top row. The amber vase (second at left) is engraved “Canada Art” and dated “1962.”“Teleflora” vases in bottom row.

As you can plainly see, the Chalet forms really are not similar - and they were the closest “relatives” I could find. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/18f86978-462b-4a7e-b45b-8e1bef2b5820/fazoletto+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Chalet vases at left. The folds may vary, the colours may vary (also done in clear crystal), the diameter and height may vary but the base on Chalet “handkerchiefs” stays the same. If your vase does not have this base style – it is not Chalet. Photograph at right from an online listing that mis-identified this as Chalet. Note its completely flat base. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/4f7e8ecc-99cd-40e6-9725-27f053dbaeb3/mushroom+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Not Chalet, Not Canadian - Make it stand out Chalet mushrooms in top, middle and bottom left rows.

Photograph of unidentified vase on top right courtesy of Bob Burgess and another mystery vase of same style on bottom right Cathy Antonyshyn. The present consensus regarding this unknown is leaning down Mistsov (Czech glass house) being the maker. Perhaps another style the artists were told to “make Chalet?” As seen in even the very few examples here, Chalet’s “Canada Art” signed forms so very often deviate in shape, quality, or colour from the Chalet norm that this in itself is compelling evidence that this branding to advance the belief that the “Canada Art” signature was used on seconds and/or artist’s samples not being put into production. More detail regarding this mysterious branding and the other Chalet hand engraved signatures found in chapters pertinent to this in “Chalet Crystal Clear Continued.” Again, if you can help identify this form with a verified marking, please leave a comment or contact me. https://www.chaletvintageartglass.ca/articles/ilse20yzytcdxaww1jhbz3z6uk50jl monthly 0.5 2025-08-24 https://www.chaletvintageartglass.ca/articles/the-chalet-swans monthly 0.5 2026-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/aa10f288-017c-4076-b8af-3275e514922f/animal+catalogue+page.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Swans - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/7452767c-7ee3-49a0-8850-08eca582f03f/geese+and+swan+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Swans - Make it stand out 2 Canada goose figurines are shown here on the left and at middle. - # 563 and # 564.

Rather, it is what Master De Marchi referred to as ‘not good glass.” Occasionally the glass mix was contaminated – even gritty and working with it was extremely difficult and the end product deemed inferior. This is an example of such. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/971f2f03-7ffe-44c8-ab9e-66a91b3ad349/rg139.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Swans - Make it stand out Same product, same style, same colour – different distributors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/d7ffdcc7-02b5-4da6-90d4-42f637eac3e6/N.C.+Cameron.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Swans - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/2a55a666-104b-4b65-8bfe-ac83828e65a2/Bradley+NC+Cameron.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Swans - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/bad0cc96-85c7-4c9e-a470-ea81b3bf655c/Reikes+page+and+swan.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Swans - Make it stand out The swan figurine is only mentioned, not illustrated, in Assortment a# 7439-69 t bottom right of this Riekes page from the Riekes 1976 General Catalog.

A mini version of the iconic Chalet crystal twist vase. This inventory sheet listing for this vase, # V 32, shows its shortest height as 10” with the letters “SS.” This piccolo is 8”.

It is a massive piece – 17” and 17 pounds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/677a7ff1-9fbf-42db-aba3-854dc83bc69b/Jo+pink.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out A grouping in this colour from the collection of Jo Highland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/08c8d373-5512-43f0-b6b2-9a64ac36d226/champagne+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out Contributors: Sabina Brunetti top left, Cindy Bishop-Laughlin top right, Amy J bottom left and Dwain Robertson bottom right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/432ca29a-7502-405f-8a82-905016ccb23c/Bob+Burgess.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out This colour rimmed little stunner from the collection of Bob Burgess.

However, it is the deviation from the production norm which is the overriding factor which determines this. The production heights for this style of “crystal swirl” vase are listed at 15 and 22 inches so you see the difference here is quite pronounced. The olive vase on the right stands 20 inches. The little mini has a style variation in the shape of its throat as well. Both vases from the collection of Ella Hanks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/357c5bf3-1df1-4ec6-87e5-9d54eda289d5/feb2014_107.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/adfdd617-ea20-4ba1-93ff-a525147c2c2a/V+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/e95c63c3-87eb-4500-bb52-bd758543a9de/Brad+blue+4.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/5a7c34a4-f600-4d74-83eb-057cd87fbaf0/museum+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/504995b2-7d86-4e2f-9924-f49d7f0a7c56/birds.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/2f33178a-823d-429e-b362-fc56ae5c90ca/rg88.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out To date, all the Chalet songbird figurines found have been the single-tail style. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/91382af9-34c1-4c03-9c1e-30df171e6ff1/gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out Top left pair nest with Cindy Bishop-Laughlin and bottom left pair from the collection of Jo Highland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/75ea68f5-8142-43ff-8370-759264567ecd/cat+and+kitten.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out Large figurine is 8” high at tip of tail.

This was on a bottom shelf of a very crowded stall in a flea-market and so dusty that I walked past it but I must have subconsciously registered something because I turned back and voila! It pays to listen to those “niggles.” The production size at left is 10 ½” in height and 12 ½” in diameter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/2d99a347-921a-43c9-9889-9fd3c26d6759/Cindy+clear+mini+cross+arm.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out 6-inches tall and 6-inches in length.

C. Cameron label as seen on the “spike and curls” mini on left. As this Canadian distributor for Chalet specialized in smaller scale giftware, perhaps these extra small clear crystal pieces were made with this mind? Chalet company sticker from the champagne coloured “V” vase (immediately following) in Ella Hank’s collection and the etched “Chalet Canada” signature is on the base of her small B 4 centerpiece. To date, these are the only brandings that I have on file for any of the Chalet minis. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/37947bd9-eeb1-4a54-9097-d75d66182de8/Ella+vase1.JPG The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1f869d72-3ee9-4052-a7d9-65418f005121/Ella+vase+3.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet “Piccoli”: Celebrating the “Happy Little Things” in Life - Make it stand out This vase is not only etched “Chalet Canada” but also retains the small gold “Hand made by Chalet in Canada” sticker.

Although not unique in shape or colour, its oversized height at 17 inches is a deviation from the norm. To date, it is the largest twist vase of which we are aware. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/038abd7d-d720-461a-b9d2-37f20f69d336/chalet_06_2013_22.jpg The Articles (old) - 17 Common Chalet Myths, Unverified Theories and Misinformation&nbsp; - Make it stand out Two Chalet mini “crystal twists. “They are not production pieces but done at end of day and deviate from the typical in size at 8 inches. The purple is the rarer and more desirable of the pair and with a higher monetary value as it also deviates in its colour from the norm. This increases its value and desirability to collectors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/d8b42bf2-6ca2-46e6-9c76-57f6d0ba52ee/rare+examples.jpg The Articles (old) - 17 Common Chalet Myths, Unverified Theories and Misinformation&nbsp; - Make it stand out Both are these pieces are rare. However, one is desired by collectors and therefore its value is high while the other piece does not have a significant monetary value despite its rarity. Why? Both are same colour. Well, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” so in this case desirability is subjective and not based on any production value. Bottom line - the cigar bowl on the left is a rare form but less valued or desired piece. The sailboat is rare with regard to both colour and numbers. Its value and desirability are both high. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/4b8d8e83-4176-4600-bb01-33256e724a8e/slag+Christmas+tree+on+mirror+%282%29.jpg The Articles (old) - 17 Common Chalet Myths, Unverified Theories and Misinformation&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/82b3982b-788b-4713-a856-0295ae9e1bcc/uranium+glow+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - 17 Common Chalet Myths, Unverified Theories and Misinformation&nbsp; - Make it stand out A few examples of the Chalet “uranium glow.” As plainly evidenced, this is not an ambiguous glow! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/752c3a9a-8a21-4033-a2df-1d2fd446a692/hook+and+curl.jpg The Articles (old) - 17 Common Chalet Myths, Unverified Theories and Misinformation&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/ad18a6b3-ffed-48fd-9bc4-c3c5cdb95cc1/hook+and+curl+UV.jpg The Articles (old) - 17 Common Chalet Myths, Unverified Theories and Misinformation&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/3764286a-8da7-4032-971a-b4bfcaee4662/grouping+UV+%28002%29.jpg The Articles (old) - 17 Common Chalet Myths, Unverified Theories and Misinformation&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/cd7e0158-59e2-48e4-827a-a567a777cb63/cigar+bowl.jpg The Articles (old) - 17 Common Chalet Myths, Unverified Theories and Misinformation&nbsp; - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/4c6b0387-a4af-4869-b8a8-1dac87f3f946/cigar+bowl+UV+shot.jpg The Articles (old) - 17 Common Chalet Myths, Unverified Theories and Misinformation&nbsp; - Make it stand out The UV light on this Chalet cigar bowl indicates the presence of manganese.

This Riekes Crisa sale advertisement is from American retailer Boscov’s. Still operating today, Boscov's Inc. is an American family-owned department store chain with fifty locations in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware Maryland, Ohio, Connecticut, West Virginia and Rhode Island. This “50% OFF RIEKES LEAD CRYSTAL“ sale was running in 1973, in the Boscov’s Lebanon, Pennsylvania location. 52 years ago, it was regularly priced at $2.00US and was being offered at $1.00. Translated into Canadian dollars - then and now - in 1973, the Canadian dollar was only ever so slightly below the US dollar so there really would not have been a difference. With inflation, the cost of purchasing today, would be $6.63 - on sale from $13.26. I definitely paid more than that for this little guy but it came with this little stand (which I spray paint whenever I change my decor) so that was a bonus. I do not think it was originally sold with this. It certainly does not indicate so in the ad. The paperweight has a shaved flat area on one side so it can lay flat for display. Unlike the lemon shown earlier. That piece must be placed in a bowl or secured. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/62057b31-9b71-4f6b-aa43-ff610cd300c1/Dawn+Tolhurst.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet “April Showers” - Make it stand out Note the differences between this Chalet form and that of the Chalet Christmas trees shown above.

Chalet Maestro Bruno Panizzon called them “silver sparkles” when I asked him about this. Very different from the forms that we have seen, like the Chalet polar bears, in which silver foil were used. The effect here is much more ethereal. The tiny flecks shimmer and appear both silver and iridescent in the light. They reflect different colours depending on their surroundings. Bird form at lower left is another stunner from the collection of Kevin Hall. https://www.chaletvintageartglass.ca/articles/chalet-bullicante-pieces monthly 0.5 2025-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/445738cc-2fd3-47dd-839e-ef41bd163c68/rg17.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Bullicante Pieces - Make it stand out EDAG (left), Chalet (middle) and Lorraine Glass Industries (right) ashtrays.

The average minimum wage in 1968 Saskatchewan was $1.05 hourly. Therefore, this would have been a very luxurious purchase for the average budget!

Standing behind and to his immediate right is Vivian Guarniere, wife of Chalet artist Gianfranco Guarrniere. She was also Paolo’s baby sitter when he was young as Vivian provided day care for the artists’ children. Vivian was immensely helpful to me by helping the artists verify dates and details as she remembered the glass and its making in the personal context of what was happening with friends and family at that time. She was also acerbic, quick witted and blunt. She had me laughing as much as writing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/9e4fd828-90a5-4b7a-9e91-f63888aa32b0/Paolo+and+I.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet to be grateful for - Make it stand out The Chalet koala. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/d57e405b-10bb-4bb0-8f8c-1b2e7ea5b7af/Chalet+brick+with+tea.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet to be grateful for - Make it stand out A brick from the Cornwall Chalet factory.

It is also 2-tone with a similar colour placement. However, notable differences are that its tail is not elevated, it has a much rounder back which leads to it having a plumper body form and its face is shorter and the head and neck are more compressed to the body. Obviously, the figurine’s 2-tone colour combination is iconic Chalet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/ad090380-28e8-492a-b6a6-343a644e361a/round+back+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet beaver figurines - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/d1697938-d2bb-4c16-9810-b9020edc1131/beaver+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet beaver figurines - Make it stand out The head of the Lorraine beaver, as well as its tail, is much more elevated than the Chalet figurine. The “id tell.” However, remember variation is the norm with regard to mouth and hand blown art glass. Each piece has subtle differences. This is illustrated perfectly here. Note the difference in head shape and elongation. In addition, the back is more arched and the body wider. However, despite its deviations from the more typical beaver figurine, it is also a verified Lorraine piece. https://www.chaletvintageartglass.ca/articles/the-chalet-oranges monthly 0.5 2024-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/73d15bdc-f45f-43e5-9327-4834bbe19398/hallway+orange+vases.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Oranges - Make it stand out 3 of my personal “tangerine” favourites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/7a8b2046-4ead-46d6-9afc-3a2e0bd5e840/fingertip.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Oranges - Make it stand out Another favourite. However, not “tangerine” in tone but a much more vibrant shade of orange. The colour saturation and intensity of orange in this “fingertip” centerpiece is fabulous. Its colour takes me back to the Laura Secord orange kiddy pops of my childhood! Although, I must admit that the butterscotch were my favourite. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/83887e0d-16b1-4caf-b619-7189450b8217/234792359_10159393636246797_191514766416236428_n.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Oranges - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/9ae50b00-27f3-4e0e-bcfa-babf4d40aa32/ad+and+cat+page.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Oranges - Make it stand out At left, the 1962 Chalet “Items Available” catalog sheet.

Remember, variation is the norm – not the exception. Chalet colours were hand mixed and measured and then the pieces were hand worked so no two pieces will ever be identical. Colour mixes were also affected by environmental factors such as the age of the mix and the age and cleaning of the crucibles.

Note that all pieces are by Chalet except the Blenko “Sun Face’ showstopper (top shelf centre). Although by a different maker, this piece does not create a disconnect in the display as its transparency and 2 colours mimic the uranium colour pools of the Chalet pieces framing and under it. The metal work of the display stand is the perfect accent to the metal sculpture, “ The Birdman Spirit Guide,” by Kurt Runstadler (1955-2006). Both help to further anchor the glass – neither are overwhelmed by the repetition of such strong colour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/b6cbdbee-ab77-4d76-bcb5-12df44d23d3d/bookcase+orange.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Oranges - Make it stand out These orange Chalet “ribbons” broke up the solid oranges in this small shelving unit arrangement.

The ad on the left is an Eaton’s (Chalet’s first national carrier in early 1963) and the price is $20.00 which translates into a 2024 cost of $199.75. Since the average hourly wage for males in 1964 was $2.21 and under $2.00 for females, you can see how “pricey” this would be. The 1963 ad on the right is from Simpson’s and is very interesting as the glass is misidentified as Lorraine. Many of Simpson’s ads wrongly attribute the makers as both Chalet and Lorraine inventory were carried by this chain as well as by Eaton’s and Morgan’s/The Bay. However, usually, the Lorraine is identified as Chalet. This early Chalet form is a basket from the collection of 50 Shades member Daniel Lynch. Both of these promotions were featured in the Montreal Gazette which is a division of the Postmedia Network. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/f5e75408-daf6-4ca6-b66f-796e5a75b9ba/pat.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out When I interviewed Patricia O’Connell (woman with basket in this photo shoot) regarding her connection to Chalet, she told me: “I met a photographer at a party and he asked me if I wanted to do a photo shoot for some glass. I had never heard of Chalet – I was just a pretty girl at the right place and time.” Newspaper article from the Ottawa Citizen, January 17, 1964. This newspaper is a division of the Postmedia Network. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/b86e0ab2-7fb5-4285-8efe-5c40f1eed4cd/The_Ottawa_Journal_Thu__May_5__1966_+-+Copy.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out Another Simpson’s advertisement wrongly attributing the glass maker. 1966 advertisement from the Ottawa Journal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/56eacd52-52aa-4d04-bef7-5021be4d1a63/B44+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out February 18, 1963 Postmedia Network’s Montreal Gazette. Once again, this is an Eaton’s advertisement. The basket is described as “... amber and about 19” high” and is priced at $12.00. Minimum average hourly wage for men in 1963 was $2.12. In 2024 dollars, the cost would be $119.85 and the minimum wage was $16.75. So, you would be working about 7 hours in both past and present to add this piece to your collection.

The middle ad (courtesy of 50 Shades member Gionny Gueli) is from Ogilyv’s (a high-end independent, Ottawa department store 1887-1984) and ran in the 1963 September 6th edition of the Ottawa Citizen (Postmedia Network). The ad in the bottom right is from the Ottawa gift store chain Davis Agency which was founded in 1945 and still operates as Hallmark franchises. This promotion was also run in the Ottawa Citizen but on November 20, 1964. It advertises small baskets at a cost of $9.00 and large at $12.00. In 1964, the average hourly wage was $2.21. Basket from collector Daniel Lynch’s collection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/4088e56f-2024-4bec-a8d6-2fd64f698abf/corrose+pink+basket.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out This finish results from washing or submerging a piece in acid at the final stages. The polished finish is obliterated – replaced by a dull, etched finish in its place. However, the glass will remain transparent. All the corroso finished Chalet pieces that have been found, at present, are pink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/15e69b34-a2d6-4d84-b3ea-4d2c28da5f5e/bb1+variation+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out Note the subtle variations – the overall shape of the basket is more tapered as well as slenderer and the middle pulls are more vertical.

The red/orange basket at rear has a less defined and more organic profile. The olive basket at front has a definite footed base. Seeing the two together like this really emphasizes the point the artists made above. This lovely set from the collection of 50 Shades member Ella Hanks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/e7b99c24-b04e-45d7-9557-549bc6e640f2/Chalet+cat+page+vases+and+big+basket.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out The BB1 basket is shown here with 2 heights and with the 16” height designated as “SS.” However, there is a second catalog page where a BB1XS at 14” is shown with basket style BB5 (see below). The quality of that page is not very good as the base details obscured but I believe the difference to be simply another height designation, not a variation in style, given that we see here that the 16-inch basket is given letters as well. Perhaps Chalet started out producing this basket in only two heights and then quickly added a third? Perhaps responding to market demand for a smaller version? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/00805684-8171-4f8e-bf34-0e4dbfa5e9b9/bb1+later.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out The red BB1 basket is from the collection of 50 Shades member Jay Hutton. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/d933e0a5-5980-45b9-89d9-fffca8e3c13d/bb1+nat+ad+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out These 3 advertisements are from the year 1967.

There is no record of production time lines regarding the BB5 basket. However, note that this style of basket does not have a distinctly footed base. To date, we have not found this exact catalog style in solid colours. Just a 2-tone and the uranium. However, there are variations of this style in solids. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/62c49821-a276-42f2-a11b-e3fbc446911a/gallery+BB5+1.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out 2-tone BB5 basket in middle with uranium baskets flanking.

The olive basket on the right has a blue coloured base, very rare for Chalet, and is etched with the Montreal importer/retailer FASCINATION PAR C.M.’s signature. Its body shape is much more graceful and the rim has a downward slope to the middle. The more commonly seen variation: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/24cb349f-24de-4bf0-961f-8262545d9a13/12+inch+oval+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out To date, we have seen this basket in only a 12” height. It was produced in the typical Chalet production solid colours but we have found some rarer solids (cranberry and purple) as well as a blue/green and a red/orange 2-tone. Note that the base is a flattened, raised oval pedestal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/96bb8c3f-2d8a-4991-83a4-52a17b9c6885/oval+base+gallery+2.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out Blue/green basket on left from the collection of 50 Shades member Michael Flink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/851f533a-0382-4dfb-960d-f4daf897462c/Dwain+blue+over+green.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out The base on this small 2-tone blue/green basket is higher, more rounded and tapers upwards.

They were also Chalet founders and owners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/148edc45-ecf7-49cf-bd47-a93ef292ed1b/Patricia.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out From the collection of 50 Shades member Patrica Wright. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/90a9deb1-690d-4a7a-bd0c-eef168f2f0ea/chalet_06_2013_46.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out From the collection of Deborah Patterson. “Tornado” base baskets: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/2c6cb157-6a9a-4e4f-b834-14a438d4e3d9/tornado.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out Basket at left from the collection of 50 Shades member Gionny Gueli and at right from the collection of 50 Shades member Mirielle Boudreau. The hand-blown Chalet with applied crystal handles baskets: Applied crystal handles and “bridal” basket styles were not exclusive to the hand molded lines. Indeed, two styles of hand-blown bridal baskets and several other styles of baskets with applied crystal handles are quite frequently found. The bases of all these styles are flat and polished. The handles can be surface textured or not and can be either a rounded arc or a more vertical “twisted rope.” They are applied at end stage of production. The decorative handle attachments are also crystal. Their designs can be the Maestro Sergio Pagnin designed “face prunt”, a curled or flat leaf or a raised “raspberry/rosette.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/a6394b54-7477-418e-a860-15543933af99/handle+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out The styles of hand molded baskets with applied crystal handles styles of baskets are found in the whole range of the Chalet colour kaleidoscope and were produced in cranberry and clear crystal as well. Markings are most typically the small gold foil Chalet “lead crystal” sticker, the “Chalet Canada” signature or the Chantili etching. However, as the hand-blown baskets with applied crystal handles were also distributed by Tex Novelty and N. C. Cameron and Sons in Canada and by Riekes Crisa in the United States, we have also found a scattering of those brandings. The catalog page featuring the Chalet BB204 “bridal” basket: Chalet Maestro Giulio Gatto also gave me this catalog page. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/b7293327-04d4-4204-ab60-8b9a564948b3/Chalet+Canada+ashtray+page.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/60dab130-0b60-45e0-ad04-8765dd71a8a6/Adam+marshal+bridal+basket.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out BB204 basket from the collection of 50 Shades member Adam Marshall.

The obvious differences from the basket BB204 style above are that the rim of the basket bowl is not scalloped and the handle is not the vertical “twisted rope.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/46373561-b63a-4d39-8545-18ec3434b26e/bridal+basket+duo.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out The blue basket on the left, from the collection of 50 Shades Jay Miller, is etched with the Chantili signature.

Another unusual basket from the collection of Kevin Hall. “Feather” baskets: A large style of basket that, if unmarked, is often misidentified as EDAG because of the middle pulls that resemble feathered wings. Chalet did produce other pieces with feather/wing details as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/5c773aea-fd98-4911-a450-3d7a986eb716/Susan+MacDonald.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out This form is typically etched “Chalet Canada.” From the collection of 50 Shades member Susan McDonald. The “feather” basket has also been found in olive, amber and blue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/ac4130d6-22a3-4ee6-a9bd-d68d6f183865/feather.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out The blue “feather” basket at left in foreground is from the collection of 50 Shades member Robert Rigo Nitschmann.

Next, this bundle is pulled thin, cooled, and sliced cross-sectionally to produce small disks with flowerlike designs. These disks are applied to hot hand or mouth blown glassware (most typically vases, bowls, baskets, and paperweights) which is then reheated and worked again. The result is a brilliantly coloured piece of glassware with an intricate, fade-resistant ornamental design. These are the only Chalet baskets with millefiori of which I am aware. The basket at right is yet another jaw-dropper from the collection of Kevin Hall.

This sticker is a Chalet “mismark.” I was told by the artists that when it got very busy, owner and founder Angelo Tedesco would call all his relatives, even the children, into the factory and hand them rolls of labels.

To produce the opaline bomboniere, animal figurines and larger pieces, lead arsenate was added to the clear crystal molten glass mixture in the vat to create a milky, white appearance. The clear glass loses its transparency and becomes opaque. Opaline glass was used not only in two complete and distinctive hand molded Chalet lines but also to create some very memorable stand-alone animal figurines. As well as Chalet opaline roosters, we have also seen polar bears, elephants and cats. An exceptional piece from the amazing collection of 50 Shades member Jo Highland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/fba4f594-8297-4d5a-b57a-01a9ee54827e/Jackie+Lynn+opalscent.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out Another opaline bomboniere. this piece from the collection of 50 Shades member Jackie Lyn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/d1936cf3-330f-4873-b987-abe341fd2b82/specialty+finishes+irradato.jpg The Articles (old) - A Bevy of Baskets - Make it stand out The irradato (iridescent) finish was achieved by treating a piece while still hot with metal chlorides or by drenching a piece at the final stages with kerosene and then burning off the oil.

It most certainly was – a large and long-standing industry in the city. The year is significant as well – Canada’s centennial. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/22b506bd-09c9-4c86-ac6d-d0385432c895/Eucharist+set+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Bowls - Make it stand out This complete Eucharist set is from the collection of Paolo De Marchi. The little bowl (right foreground) was used to hold wafers during the ceremony and designed so that the handled pitcher (rear at right) could nestle inside it. Four-piece sets like these are unheard of as the bell and handled pitcher are exceedingly rare. However, the little vessel that held the wine (rear left) and the bowl are occasionally found on their own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/3f62a184-bc15-4c71-af55-64d04ba8b5b9/Jeremiah+bullicante+bowl.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Bowls - Make it stand out Photographs courtesy of 50 Shades member Jeremiah Shaver. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/e2dac83f-3438-4597-8eea-e476c1f01fa6/clear+engraved+Tedesco.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Bowls - Make it stand out The engraving on this piece was not done by Luigi but by another Chalet founder and owner – Angelo Tedesco.

Although only two 2-tone colour combinations are shown here, note the differences in each within that context. They also demonstrate variation in colour placement. There is no uniformity or standard. Another obvious difference is in the arch of the back arch. Tail shape and tail position is more consistent.

The Chalet “crystal twist” lamp on display at the Cornwall “The Art and Artisans of Chalet Art Glass” retrospective. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/158322fc-d2a8-4a39-88ae-f8202a67f7a4/lamps+with+wood+stem+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Lamps - Make it stand out This is a set of 10” Chalet factory made crystal twist lamps. Both of the vase bases were etched “Chalet Canada.” However, more importantly, both have the prerequisite wooden accents. There are two types of wooden ornaments. One long and one short. The long one comes without a brass tube (like Jo Highland's orange lamp shown below) and the short one comes with a brass tube. Here are the measurements:. The long wooden ornament as per 16” lamp below: height of wood stem: 4.5." Metal tube height: no tube. The short wooden ornament: wooden stem height: 2.5” and metal tube height: 2" Note that the socket on the lamp in the photo on the left has a “key” on/off twist. Also note the chain pull in the closeup from another Chalet produced lamp at right. These types of “on/off” mechanisms also help date age of manufacture as these are not used today but are not conclusive in and of themselves. However, some authentic Chalet factory made lamps do have sockets and harps that are newer – that does not automatically preclude authenticity of the lamp. No, it is only a sign that the lamp has had some rewiring. Some genuinely factory made lamps have also had to have their electrical cords replaced. Blue lamps from the collection of Deborah Patterson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/55fb48c8-9d5b-4831-b151-bf8f1dd81071/lamp+vases.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Lamps - Make it stand out Note the vase on right in the photo on left has a much wider throat and wide low crystal side twists – this ensured stability when inverted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/bbdd4e6c-6a82-43cb-8441-99e6b7bd9007/gallery+of+colours.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Lamps - Make it stand out Photo of blue Chalet lamp at left courtesy of 50 Shades member Jacques Binette.

They do both use green but of different shades. More significantly, note the differences in colour placement. The olive and blue bear from the collection of 50 Shades member Kay Bee has no colour in the head and much more throughout the body. While the pose is “heads up” in both, the thickness of the neck, the shape of ears and nose and the body taper to the base is very different. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/0660ebfb-0c9b-461e-9ba0-fc23b24e22a6/variation+comparison.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet polar bear figurines - Make it stand out These two are excellent examples of differing tones within the same colour combination as well as also illustrating very different shaped heads and noses.

However, it is not a generic label. It is a Rossi company label and not designating a company name is something that was done on numerous of Rossi’s other brandings. This also adds to confusion, example follows, as these types of Rossi stickers are easily and often mistaken for generic labels. Not a frequently found label. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/b8f82459-a1ef-4009-a6eb-da7a7c36dc49/boutique+cranberry+sticker+piece.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet/Rossi Connections and Confusions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/b74abfa8-8467-406b-a492-7ebb5c323697/Rossi+early+branding.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet/Rossi Connections and Confusions - Make it stand out This cranberry Rossi “bridal basket” being mistaken for a Chalet piece is a very understandable misidentification since the label is no help at all regarding maker and the form is common to both.

I both literally and figuratively fell off my chair when I found it! The full description is as follows: “Reg. 7.00 to 38.00. Lots of Service ‘Surprises’ here with colour and sparkle and savings for your home and gifts! Handcrafted modern table inserts in vases, bowls, ashtrays, and those artful little treasures called ‘whimsey’. Amber, Blue, Orange, Olive Green are the striking colours. AS A SPECIAL, each from 4.66 to 20.00.” I can only assume that the centerpiece shown here at ad’s top left is what the copy describes as “… artful little treasures called ‘whimsey’.” No other Eaton’s advertising that I have on file presently show these three forms. I am not aware that, to date, we have found any of these styles with the Eaton’s hallmark.

Advertisement courtesy of 50 Shades member Gionny Gueli. None of these particular pieces bear the Eaton’s branding – they are etched “Chalet Canada.” Again, I am not aware that, to date, we have found any of these styles bearing the Eaton’s etching. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/4173825f-aaed-489d-b05a-d38d6639d7f2/Karen+Jones+crystal+twist.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and Eaton’s - Make it stand out From the collection of Karen Jones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/ca0dcfe4-65c3-4069-8017-76bb6eb01a54/1968+large+variety.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and Eaton’s - Make it stand out This May 1968, Star Phoenix advertisement (PostMedia Network member) illustrates the largest grouping of Chalet pieces (9) that I found. Moreover, the 6 shown above here out of the 9 in the ad had not been seen in any of the other advertisements before this date. I did not include the basket, “stretch or hook and curls” centerpiece forms in the photo gallery as we have seen them previously. However, none of these particular pieces bear the Eaton’s etching – they are all from my personal collection and bear the Chalet etching. And, once more, I do not believe that, to date, we have found any of these styles in this ad (with the exception of the basket and hook and curls centerpiece) with the Eaton’s hallmark. Hopefully, soon! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/90ec91a8-1ed8-4370-8350-125ca017d350/1968+cigar+bowl+and+basket.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and Eaton’s - Make it stand out The basket is etched Eaton’s while the cigar bowl is etched ”Chalet Canada.” However as shown above, we have found cigar bowls with the Eaton’s etching. I showed this red one as one of the colours Eaton’s advertises is “fire red.” The ad featuring the “finger” cigar bowl is from the Kitchener Waterloo Record in April, 1968. This newspaper is part of the Metroland Media Group, a subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. The ad on the right with the basket is from a division of the Postmedia Network, the Edmonton Journal , September 1968. This advertisement is of special interest as it offers “leaf bowls” and “swan bowls.” As there is no illustrations of these pieces, I did not include a form for either as it would just be a personal interpretation and therefore, an assumption, as to what this styling terminology meant in terms of a specific form. But it is certainly interesting to speculate! Some possibilities – could the “leaf bowl” be the 1967 Expo limited edition leaf centerpiece or is it Chalet’s other leaf design? Are the “swan bowls” the “Murano” style or the abstract? I do not think that this refers to the swan shaped bonboniere as there is no evidence that Eaton’s carried those and the price point in the ad is much too high. Bombonniere prices at this time were typically under $2.00. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/20285bf8-2871-4641-af88-fd4f99c6ddb4/speculation+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and Eaton’s - Make it stand out Catalogue pages showing the 2 different types of possible Eaton’s “swan bowls” at either side of gallery. 2 different types of possible Eaton’s “leaf bowls” in the middle of gallery. These original Chalet catalogue pages were given to me by Chalet Maestro Giulio Gatto. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/bb092706-163c-42cd-bb1d-58441859c803/1968+splash+and+basket.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and Eaton’s - Make it stand out Both the olive basket and the gold “splash” vase are etched ‘Chalet Canada.” An olive basket in this same style bearing the Eaton’s hallmark is shown above. Please note that this ad also mentions “leaf bowls” and gives the dimensions – which help narrow the style down to NOT the limited edition leaf centerpiece which were 12” and 14” sizes.

It is exceedingly interesting because it offers “Special Savings on Glassware! Glass bowls- free form blown glass from Lorraine Glass…” and “ Glass bowls - Free form blown glass from Chalet Glass…” in the same box. Please note that the Lorraine product is at a lower price point than that by Chalet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/45185351-e975-4450-8f00-740609302258/1970+Star+Phoenix+ad+and+pieces.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and Eaton’s - Make it stand out February 2, 1968 from the Star Phoenix, Saskatoon - a division of the Postmedia Network. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/5a42f835-5449-46ea-acb9-d08750528fbb/1971.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and Eaton’s - Make it stand out May, 1971 from the Edmonton Journal which is part of the Postmedia Network Significant advertisement as this introduces “Heritage by Chalet Glass”. The first time we have seen Eaton’s carrying forms from any of the four hand molded Chalet lines. And another interesting offering, which is not illustrated, is “miniature bottles.” With regard to the “Handled Vases - delicately styled”, I can make a pretty good guess. However, the bottle reference is a puzzler as all the Chalet bottles I have seen, including the cranberry coloured, are quite large! Thoughts? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/ad3e4547-2147-4e77-b1d4-b7434b70a123/CCVCMSHN1049_04.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and Eaton’s - Make it stand out This “Handled and Delicately Styled” vase is likely the form to which the above ad refers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/4b0694b6-ea11-4dcb-98a0-a15d79299a25/luna+cranberry+bottle.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and Eaton’s - Make it stand out However, this bottle from the collection of 50 Shades member Luna Sabrina, is a fully sized piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/484fc712-3141-4cd0-9373-9955fbaecb37/1968+Eaton%27s+catalog+trio.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and Eaton’s - Make it stand out Middle photo insert from catalogue courtesy of 50 Shades member Lorraine Hawley. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/527518e8-9e51-42fe-b5e7-14e779db19dc/3+atypical+.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and Eaton’s - Make it stand out These are very atypical pieces that have been found with the Eaton’s etching.

And the top of the tree is not as long and stretched before broadening into the main body of the piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/79b52555-1c67-4fb7-9da1-efa95a805a85/JT+final+replacement+pic.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Christmas Trees - Make it stand out This grouping is from the collection of Jonathon Tremblay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/038b922a-eb89-42c8-aa03-1b8bf9cb8648/arrowtree+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Christmas Trees - Make it stand out Note the base shape variation from tree to tree.

Bottom row at left, is a tree from Deborah Patterson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/bf338b45-9ea3-4c3f-a1dd-c7a3211a1dd8/ice+and+no+ice.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Christmas Trees - Make it stand out The Chalet tree on the left that was caught in an “ice” storm is 8” in height and was made by Roberto De Marchi and is now in his son Paolo De Marchi’s collection. The 9” tree on the left, bearing a N.C. Cameron sticker, is from the collection of Deborah Patterson. This tree in her “forest” was not affected by the storm. It is much more typical to see an emerald Chalet “Christmas” tree with a crystal casing of “ice” over the green body. Please also note the two different base styles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/c191a666-0871-4249-8156-5df45b9862ec/Jonathon+duo.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Christmas Trees - Make it stand out From the collection of Jonathon Tremblay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/7f39315b-46a4-4b48-a470-fe51bc4246fc/slag+base+-+Copy.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Christmas Trees - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/ad002d8d-07d4-4c7a-88cd-7e9291c5101a/blue+pair.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Christmas Trees - Make it stand out A “Never say Never” Chalet colour variation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/50a3baf9-0858-4b8d-9231-039094344e90/Mario+round+2+Davis+Agency+Stores.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Christmas Trees - Make it stand out Ottawa Citizen, 1964, a division of Postmedia Network Inc., Courtesy of Mario Panizzon’s 50 Shades post of April 7, 2021.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/10289397-52f4-437f-bc64-9b67916aff70/Christmas_ad_Davis_Agency+Mon+Dec+16+1968.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Christmas Trees - Make it stand out From the archives of the Ottawa Citizen. 1968.

I purchased it in Cornwall from the daughter of a close friend of Chalet co-owner and founder Angelo Tedesco. Her father and Angelo were in the Cornwall Rotary Club together. One Christmas Eve, their doorbell rang and they found “Santa Angelo” outside on their porch with a gift he had had his brother Maestro Luigi Tedesco make specifically for her father – this incredibly large, heavy, and brilliantly clear tree. A truly non-production piece in every way. It is etched “Chalet Canada” which is also special as this is not typically how the trees were marked. It is shown here with my 6” Chalet tree of the same design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/12251a0b-724f-4563-af8f-651cc4c22eee/markings+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Christmas Trees - Make it stand out From left to right top row: the later Riekes Crisa Canada label, the small Chantili sticker, the Riekes Crisa earliest label.

Riekes Crisa did not normally carry coloured Chalet pieces. Their Chalet inventory was largely in clear crystal with limited lines of “American Cranberry” and the cranberry in crystal. However, I have seen a handful of coloured pieces with Riekes labels. This Chalet “spruce” being one of them. It bears the “John Riekes Collection” sticker. This gold sticker is not seen as often as the black and silver palette shaped Riekes sticker shown above. We have also seen clear crystal trees that retain the John Riekes Collection label.

Although Chalet did produce green Christmas trees (see directly below) for distribution by Chantili and N. C. Cameron and Sons Ltd, their trees never contained red. They could be “iced” as is the tree on the right in the following photograph but only a single colour was used. Moreover, the base of the Fifth Avenue trees is higher, clear instead of coloured and not as ball shaped. In my opinion, this detracts from the grace of the piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/d6e5f4b9-4224-4e61-9b5b-ed61ae9085c9/Chalet+Xmas+tree+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) -

The stores carry clothing, shoes, handbags and jewelry, cosmetics, domestics, small appliances, and home décor items. The Boscov chain has 49 locations throughout Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. 26 of these stores are located in Pennsylvania with its headquarters near Reading, Pennsylvania. These five animal figurines with the Riekes and Boscov’s original labels shipped from Pennsylvania. Riekes Crisa was a major American distributor of Chalet product in the United States and based in Omaha, Nebraska. The pieces that are found in Canada with their labels have worked their way back here - Riekes did not export Canadian product back to Canada. So very cool to now be able to directly link this US distributor to a US retailer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/486401c0-82b0-43de-8a67-00fdd6d04b91/1973+Sergio+with+Angelo+Rossi+re+Riekes+press+release.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet for Riekes Crisa Bears - Make it stand out 1973, Chalet factory.

These silver or gold sheets were made by the precious metals having been beaten into an extremely thin leaf-like state of about 0.15 micron in width. To give you an idea of such a thin surface, this reflects about 20 grams of the precious metal covering six square meters. The sheets were then cut into small squares of about 8 cm. To infuse this gold or silver into the form, the Maestro started by rolling these small 24K gold or .925 silver sheets onto the hot glass mass during the early stage of glass-blowing. Once the gold leaf or silver foil covered most of the gather, he added a layer of clear crystal. Then, when he began to blow the glass, the metal sheet within the layers broke into smaller pieces which dispersed throughout the piece. This resulted into objects having scattered metallic pieces if differing sizes and shapes captured inside the form producing shimmering effects. These may appear close to the surface or submerged within deeper layers of clear crystal. There is no uniformity from piece to piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/b6952bd0-5576-491d-9290-62cb90585dcc/bookends+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Fruit Forms - Make it stand out Some Chalet book end sets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/38d58225-3b85-4b33-b678-56b91669a1e4/olive+book+ends+signature.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Fruit Forms - Make it stand out Most typically etched with the ‘Chalet Canada’ signature.

From the collection of 50 Shades member Paolo De Marchi. This apple was made by his father, artist Roberto De Marchi. Mr. De Marchi also worked at Chalet Artistic Glass before the company’s closure. After Chalet’s bankruptcy, quite a few of the Chalet artists worked for Rossi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/7df50e0c-bd48-4cd1-b214-1647f98858ca/Dwain+stickered+apple+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Fruit Forms - Make it stand out This is a later made Rossi apple from Niagara Falls. Note the evolution in design shape (more elongated) from the cranberry apples (Cornwall factory) shown above. I think the later design resembles a “Delicious” apple while the earlier form relates more closely to a “MacIntosh” apple. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/93c480e7-45f7-48f8-b9de-c4e34f29fb09/green+Rossi+apple.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Fruit Forms - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/c47c9960-1edb-4902-b4ff-12707cda3772/green+rossi+apple+signature.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Fruit Forms - Make it stand out This rare green apple from the collection of 50 Shades member Dawn Tolhurst bears the engraved Angelo Rossi signature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/7629c563-da1f-44f9-959a-4c5369374f73/green+ebay+apple+with+sticker.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Fruit Forms - Make it stand out And another.

The most obvious – one is cranberry while the other is a very atypical swirl of coloured glass. Branding is different. And lastly, the applied leaf and stem of the cranberry is not gold filled while the yellow dish does have an avventurina stem and leaf. https://www.chaletvintageartglass.ca/articles/fkb1msa7y1x5kzgil5wr5z1w9hz23k monthly 0.5 2024-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/d304b2f7-4cae-4e4f-abeb-2595c761447c/banner.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Elephant Figurines - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/78061b9c-599d-4c36-aa42-6380eee51e7c/069.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Elephant Figurines - Make it stand out Most often found in a 2-tone colour placement.

The clear glass loses its transparency and becomes opaque. Opaline glass was used not only in two complete and distinctive hand moulded Chalet lines but also to create some very memorable stand-alone animal figurines. We have also seen polar bears, rabbits, roosters, and cats that are fully or partially opaline. I am fortunate to have this piece in my collection. Doubly so because of its rare marking. This is a very seldom seen hang tag. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/7a0d08fc-a803-448f-a3a7-fd62649309bc/Brenda+Ross+Coombs.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Elephant Figurines - Make it stand out Both the opaline and cranberry elephant are etched “Chalet Canada.” And, as you can plainly see, the cranberry pachyderm also retains its original Chalet sticker.

Compare the clear crystal “round head” owl on the right to the clear crystal owl on the riser at back. It has a distinct yellow tinge – too much lead in the mix. This was not a deliberate choice but rather, a mistake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/912051f6-2669-4455-b842-dad3845a49cc/funny+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Owl Figurines - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/5db9001f-8701-487d-8573-64d1948d8381/8286medres.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Owl Figurines - Make it stand out Cornwall, 2010 photo shoot for “The Shapes and Colours of Chalet Art Glass.” Chalet Maestro Bruno Panizzon poses with animal figurines he personally made while at Chalet (1962-1975). Like many of the rarer Chalet animal figurines, the “Buddha belly” owls also were produced with gold inclusions. This could be done several ways. In the owl shown here, Maestro Panizzon added gold dust to make this figure avventurina. The particles were added to a small amount of molten glass, then he added a layer of clear crystal to the gather. When he began to blow the glass, the gold dust particles within the layers dispersed throughout the piece producing shimmering effects. The gold inclusions may appear close to the surface or submerged within deeper layers of clear crystal. There is no uniformity from piece to piece. A different technique and material, silver foil not dust, was used in the polar bear figurine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/bc0265c3-c0ac-4bb5-a0a4-f55399eda859/avventurina+and+bullicante+closeup.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Owl Figurines - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/40caffdd-c6a6-41f2-b7ac-f312da8486d9/Cindy+Jonathon.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Owl Figurines - Make it stand out Although these etched “Chalet Canada” owls are the same form, note the differences in colour, shape and both the gold and bubble technique. Typical variations. In the “buddha belly” owls, there can be significant differences in the length and width of face and belly. Please note that unlike the smaller owl figurines shown above, the Chalet “buddha belly” form has no tail. Figurine on the left from the collection of 50 Shades member Cindy Bishop-Laughlin.

The Lorraine figurines are taller and more cylindrical in form while the Chalet “round head” has a keyhole shape. In the Lorraine owl form, the wings typically protrude outward instead of sloping down. And the biggest distinction is that Chalet only produced the “round head” owl, as shown above, in clear crystal and in the blue/green combinations. Please note that the Chalet piece shown here is not solid green although the lighting and its proximity to the Lorraine owl is making it appear to be so. It is the 2-tone bright blue/emerald-green shown earlier in this article. This pair from the collection of 50 Shades member Jo Highland. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/d4d720e3-43b9-491c-8144-38e848d1d527/Lorraine+owl+front.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Owl Figurines - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/c514df11-b213-40c9-bebc-b6827c87c470/Cathy+A+owl.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Owl Figurines - Make it stand out Photograph courtesy of 50 Shades member Cathy Antonyshyn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/a9d8fd4f-9edc-47aa-9bc7-ce0453babdf5/owl+shelf+June.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Owl Figurines - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/03722f9c-e244-4c39-acb8-857e6ee1163d/display+2.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Owl Figurines - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/71a77572-3e2c-49a9-85d1-6bc5074724a1/avventurina+animals+close+up.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Owl Figurines - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/13785406-05a3-474c-a21d-b2c37e36d3c9/bedroom+side+wall+Nov+2022.jpg The Articles (old) - The Chalet Owl Figurines - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.chaletvintageartglass.ca/articles/dg6gvp1si5wiofr91ggo7xqdv0zsun monthly 0.5 2023-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/9bf5d598-9b7a-423e-9295-6b3c24b3abf5/red+signature.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet corporate advertising and marketing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/3835fd06-f31a-4310-9d36-a02db690bd40/IMG_9182.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet corporate advertising and marketing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/d59c8d9b-a7a1-44ec-951c-b88f3f25a385/great+label+2.JPG The Articles (old) - Chalet corporate advertising and marketing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/165f5478-8236-4ab6-b53f-51eee8d9015c/single+EDAG+sticker.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet corporate advertising and marketing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/0d428196-f229-4036-ae9d-a90dc6ef82f1/marks_labels_055.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet corporate advertising and marketing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/08e17b52-fedb-449c-afa8-e19500d605b0/quality+trio.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet corporate advertising and marketing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/576a825c-30df-41b2-bea3-17d5e81b1b29/Harbour+Rd_Chalet+Glass_1972-03-18_press+release.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet corporate advertising and marketing - Make it stand out March 1972 Chalet company press release.

Glassblower is Chalet owner Maestro Luigi Tedesco. He was 26 years old at this time. Woman with the glass is Patricia O’Connell. When I spoke with Ms. O’Connell about her connection to the glass she told me, ‘I was just a pretty girl at a party.” A photographer, also a guest, asked her if she would be interested in making some extra money doing a quick newspaper photo shoot. She had never seen Chalet glass before and none of the owners attended the photography session. The piece showcased in the article with her is BB41.

How so? Although these are all the same form, again variations in height, colour, diameter, twists, and styling are obvious. As in the previous image, we can see there is a differing 2-tone combination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/8c048ff6-386e-4a12-b142-e096938882fb/Private_077+-+Copy.jpg The Articles (old) - Why there are Variations in Chalet’s &nbsp;Designs, Production and Markings&nbsp; - Make it stand out More of the same. Same form and same variations. The diameter of the olive is significantly wider than the others. Also, its twists are less pronounced and it has a thicker and higher crystal base. The orange has a much sharper triangle throat opening and although it has very pronounced twists, it is not heavily cased. The amber is slenderer throughout its body than typical and was quite an elegant 8” mini. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/6b886b39-bd61-4f45-a399-06811ef2ac13/10+inch+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Why there are Variations in Chalet’s &nbsp;Designs, Production and Markings&nbsp; - Make it stand out The cranberry-coloured vase shown in the lower middle is from the collection of 50 Shades member Carol Lincz. These are all 10” vases. Roughly – some are a shade less and others a hair more but for comparison purposes, their height differences are negligible. Regardless, these images stand as more proof that the production sheet 10” encompassed slight variation. All are etched with the “Chalet Canada” signature with the orange in the top left also bearing a Chalet label.

This is an excellent example of time and use resulting in age related wear. Value of this piece would not be affected by this age typical wear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/8defcfa0-dc07-4301-b482-63f63706cfbd/CTBIMSPN5018_05.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out The crystal swirl bases found on the the Chalet “splash” vases and ashtrays, the “tornados”, some of the “ribbons” having this base design and the large crystal swirl vases seem especially prone to flea bite and chip damage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/5ec39cfb-a2ac-4296-9d38-7d4c3ddbc21b/Collectors_009+%282%29.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/e6aa4b1b-09f3-4d32-bfe9-1ffa15c70331/Roger+Lambert.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Unfortunately damage occurs to the rare and scarce as well as to the ordinary. This Lorraine tie-dye basket is a casualty of time while both the purple “Canada Art” engraved Chalet cigar bowl (above) and the purple “Chalet Canada” etched stretch (to the right) were victims of poor shipping. The basket and stretch have a “loving home” with 50 Shades member Roger Lambert. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/b5215932-babb-407d-a8a5-e7e96f95866b/Roger+stretch.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/0911d4f8-b63e-474f-a224-ba85223c58a9/Luna+pedestal+foot+chip.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out The chip on the pedestal foot of this piece is quite shallow and is fairly inconspicuous. Impact on value of a chip this size and where it is found could be subjective and if the piece is rare or scarce, the negative impact will be even less. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/2b61ab6d-1338-4228-9460-7640d23462d4/swan+chip.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out A chip this deep, large and visible (even if on the side of the base) renders this piece virtually worthless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/42a6e2b2-ba32-4be0-a367-a0eee90d74da/Luna+cracks.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Note the small hairline cracks present on the ends of this EDAG “twisted tips” vase. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/b54215d9-2ae9-4058-b7ce-9d3363c8d518/Alex+basket.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/b020e1fb-5976-4904-9500-a5f41a52e8e8/Alex+basket+crack.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Now this is a crack worthy of the label ‘fracture!” For 3 years 50 Shades member Alex Wicks has been wondering what is keeping the piece together - he’s watching it with fascination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/65b839ce-7712-44d5-bccd-631ef5d13c43/Alex+basket+crack+bottom.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/3d0fae8c-125c-4e5e-8cbe-39d1d189da3e/Reference_025.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Both horizontal “arms” on this massive Murano stretch were damaged. The pictures immediately following show the filed tips - the blunting was very well done. However, again, both the damage and repairs, no matter how well done, render this piece virtually worthless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/29fab35e-35f8-4c8d-aab7-4610bd4d568b/Reference_012.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/ef982295-de7b-4b09-83ea-56b98503e5ef/Reference_013.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/cfc24ab7-d1df-4f78-914c-f66fec4a2581/Reference_039.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Lorraine Glass Industries made both these baskets. However, only one is intact. The basket on the right has obvious “home repairs.” Both broken arms have been filed and also note the blackened left “arm” tip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/c1215145-32fd-440f-a33a-7e2c26a56f01/6+arm+Chalet+stretch.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out The Morrisburg flea market (very near Cornwall) seller from whom I bought this Chalet “6 arm” pointed out the repair when I expressed interest in purchasing. It was so expertly done that I would not have noticed it otherwise. He had purchased the piece from its original and only owner who had bought it at a “Seconds” sale right at the Chalet factory. Chalet had a annual Christmas sale in which discontinued lines and forms and less-than-perfect pieces were prominently featured. Can you spot the repaired damage? I paid very little for this piece and was over joyed to get it, even with a repair, as Chalet “6 arms” are very scarce. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/48502d43-4013-4fea-bf85-afbf1f9ee8f0/J+kiss.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/36f9883e-599b-4f13-9827-871a31e4466a/gondola+chips.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out These nicks/flakes definitely would have a negative impact on the value of this piece as they are located on the tip of one of the “arms” of this Chalet “gondola” centerpiece. This form is all about its shape so for damage to be present on a defining design feature is to the definite detriment of the piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/334b5d61-fb4d-4728-9786-d8b8a92e16ed/CICGMSPN5001_02.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Here is an example of a gondola centerpiece with undamaged tips.

In the case of this little EDAG bird, the negative impact will be slight or maybe not at all as EDAG animal figurines are quite scarce and the scratch here is so minor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/413c0134-a509-4044-8b41-89fd22581662/Murano+bullicante.JPG The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out This Murano bullicante ashtray base is an excellent example of 2 things - deeper scratch marks which would be felt by a fingernail and typical bottom wear. This “age expected/appropriate wear” will not affect the value of this piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/c55c80fd-0cc4-4749-936b-06ff30e818aa/Luna+scuff.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/38e6dfc7-0256-4678-9299-2bdf9e2d2001/image+%2814%29.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out Both these Chalet “crystal twists” have been over exposed to heat.

It had not been worked on at all given the over heating - its sides were so sharp that you could have easily cut yourself on them. I also bought it at the Morrisburg flea market near Cornwall. It had been taken home by a Chalet employee after it was discarded. Up to 25% of Chalet’s daily production (700-800 pieces) were ruled as being not top quality and either discarded or sold as a second. The owners and the glass blowing team’s Maestro would make the decision regarding inferior quality glass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/db2c3a5d-c8f7-4dba-8695-f161d25a7cf1/Ella+water+damage.jpg The Articles (old) - Art Glass Damage and Flaws - Make it stand out This “wispy fog” water stain (at left beside the clear crystal band) does show the irridescent hue.

They have a 5” diameter. From the collection of 50 Shades member Cindy Bishop-Laughlin. The fingertip bowl is rare. Seen more often than the ashtray but not as often as the vase or platter. It has been found in amber, blue, olive, orange and a very scarce red/orange. It is also one of the forms that has been found in 2 tones (blue/green and cranberry/blue) which are exceedingly rare for this form. The bowl form has not yet been found in uranium. It is typically about 15” in length, 13” in diameter and 5” in height. The basin of the bowl is somewhat elevated from the base. There are no “butt rests” along its rim. There are 1 set of 3 pulls where there is always 1 exaggerated pull – it is higher and arched and pulled back toward the middle of the piece. As you can see in the photo below, the height of this pull varies from bowl to bowl. The height at the exaggerated finger pull on the olive bowl is 6” while the height on the red/orange dish is 7” at same point. This form is sometimes confused with the platter form but please note there are differences in width, height, base elevation, pull configuration between the 2 forms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/38ea702e-5d68-4e1e-850c-2263df992112/Troy+2+bowls.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet “fingertip” forms - Make it stand out These 2 fingertip bowls from the collection of 50 Shades member Troy Danby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/19d5c344-92ad-41fe-af2b-bd45b31bd225/bowl+base.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet “fingertip” forms - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/4744f1e0-8fc9-4ca7-b52c-5db21b36e2f6/blue+amber+all.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet “fingertip” forms - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/32ea2aa5-3aea-4be6-a253-724b551c9010/Cindy+fingertip+bowl+%282%29.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet “fingertip” forms - Make it stand out From the collection of 50 Shades member Cindy Bishop-Laughlin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/dbd48a85-ea99-40cf-b6f7-b36691fc7a75/Cindy+2+tone.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet “fingertip” forms - Make it stand out From the collection of 50 Shades member Cindy Bishop-Laughlin.

Not only will you see the headed different forms, you will notice subtle differences in colour, detail and body shape. Evidence of hand worked molded forms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/11e15910-e470-43b5-9108-e39131a306dc/001+-+Copy.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out It was produced in 3 sizes. Production #1035 stands 4”, Production #1037 being 6” in height and Production #1039 larger at 8” inch. This is the 8” basket. And the question asked above regarding the maker of this basket is now answered - it is not only stickered Chalet but the pink one above is stickered Rossi. Moreover, as you will see in the Rossi bomboniere section below, Rossi did not do clear coloured bonboniere like these so routinely done at Chalet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/fd1a2542-76b9-414d-81ae-d3a2ba02a892/rg130+-+Copy.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out Another style. It is not shown on the Chalet catalog page above. However, it is featured on the Chalet catalog sheet that I was not able to include. It is Production #1079 and is 4 ½”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/e63fbb29-5001-4d4e-855d-dd2eaf0d0a4a/chalet_06_2013_65.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out This third basket style has also been found in 4, 6 and 8” heights. This style is not shown in either of the Chalet catalog pages I have. However, we have found it marked with Chalet labels and Chalet distributor labels. As well, it is carried in clear crystal in the Riekes catalogs under the Chalet “Assortments” and the Chalet baskets. Although as seen above, Rossi did do basket bomboniere in this shape, as noted, he did not produce clear coloured pieces. Therefore, identification of this type of coloured bomboniere is straightforward because of the colour - if not the shape. However, identifying unstickered clear crystal and “irradato”baskets and swans can get more difficult. More following regarding this subject. . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/3b77c6ce-06e2-4254-a04e-280457e315cf/flat+basket.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out A fourth style basket. Production #1012 is listed as 3 ½” RD” on the Chalet catalog page above. I believe that those initials indicate “round” as on the second Chalet catalog page not shown here, it is now Production #1008. Found in a wide range of colours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/807ce77c-1d9f-4c05-b48d-66ce5ada45f9/blue+ebay+petal+basket.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out This basket style had a squared body style and came in 2 sizes – 3 ½ was Production #1012SQ and the larger 4” size was Production #1014. They are both shown on the Chalet catalog page above. However, like the preceding amber bomboniere, their production number changed on the 2nd Chalet catalog page I have for the bomboniere. It is now Production #1077 (3 ½”) and the larger 4” size was changed to Production #1078. In addition to the different body shape, the pulls on this style are like flower leaves or petals as compared to the smaller rounded pulls on the #1012RD/#1008 style above. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/279acd8f-a318-4447-8e21-2155f0ba2abc/1014+KK+olive.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out From the collection of 50 Shades members Kevin Kodak and Tracey Shanley. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/777dd54c-dd3a-4261-8e10-9be3ba65a01d/Carol+Lincz+star+shape+%282%29.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out A rare variation of the Production #1078 basket form directly adjacent.

Bomboniere are also presented in the Riekes catalogues for use as candleholders. Again, you see the swan form here. There are some differences – modifications based on usage. The candle holders do not have a rounded, mold marked bottom. They are always either footed or have a flat polished base. For the obvious reason of stability. And the tops were always open so that the flame would not touch glass. Therefore, it is obvious why a basket candleholder was not feasible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/643c9b1e-66d0-445f-8b04-95587bd6280d/candleholders+%282%29.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1feef062-fd65-4120-bc54-0ac9251977a8/Ella+clear+candleholders.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out An “assortment” from 50 Shades member Ella Hanks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/8eee743d-ef9a-4de7-9081-c18165aadc48/Riekes+Crisa+bomboniere+candleholders.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/588f66d8-3982-4e93-a969-2d0a1f821541/chalet_06_2013_100.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/6c79a9bb-d6cb-4223-b5e8-c9c7dd5fd117/chalet_06_2013_99.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/940365d7-3357-4be3-83d7-436e06d0f89f/ebay+clear+Riekes.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/418be581-e696-4afd-82b2-9b1f24108c55/ashtray+all+%281%29.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out Pictures of amber piece on left courtesy of 50 Shades member Paolo De Marchi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/c144f19b-ee03-4f5b-aa49-84510f62a757/Cindy+amber+fingerpull.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out The epitome of “similar yet different.” This EDAG bombonierre could very easily be mistaken for Chalet #1011 - see following photographs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/7aa1f491-68bb-417f-8433-b15f0c650082/edag+all.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out Let’s do a comparison - the colour is the same and both have 8 upward pulls BUT note - the EDAG piece (left) piece has no mold seams or base markings. It was hand formed not hand molded. It is also slightly larger than the Chalet bomboniere #1011 on the right.

Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out This Murano stickered bomboniere from the collection of 50 Shades member Kevin Hall is another clear example of how deeply Chalet was influenced by Italian tradition and heritage. If you were just breezing by, you could easily mistake this for Chalet produced because of its size, shape and the pulls. However, note the smooth polished base and this is not a typical colour for Chalet. Although, as shown above, we have found purple bomboniere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/b6a87e55-349a-44e4-81d0-16626ea256ef/more+Winnipeg+1.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet and “Similar yet Different” Bomboniere - Make it stand out Finn in Winnipeg.

Then it is submerged in a heavy casing of crystal and hand worked. The applied avventurina crystal leaf is fused at end. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1621625007239-SRKH06OFZ1FH2JTRYMNJ/Bob+fingertip.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet glass blowing design techniques - Make it stand out A cranberry and blue 2-tone sommerso Chalet fingertip vase. This is an excellent illustration of how 2 colours appear to be 3. The cranberry colouring in the foreground appears to be purple but that is the effect of the light being refracted and reflected within the piece’s crystal casing. The deeper the layers of crystal, the more the colour is affected.

Maybe it’s a “sapling” as is only 4 ½ inches in height. Obviously, another “slag” piece. It retains a hang tag from the ‘Canadiana Cranberry’ line as well as a Chalet inventory sticker on its base which has been used as a price sticker. You will also no doubt be curious about the very large crystal “Christmas tree” in the left rear. It is 16” in height – not a production size. It retains its Riekes Crisa label. I have also had a 17” tree which was etched “Chalet Canada.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1617819278860-PP3ZGMA7YLJ93QRU0SOT/slag+Christmas+tree+on+mirror+%282%29.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Ring Trees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1617819324431-AKL21DP0Q9GQ34A6JNT5/slag+Christmas+tree+sticker.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Ring Trees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1617819356475-EEF4U96PZ9WLDKCQ1KJM/slaf+Christmas+tree+up+close.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Ring Trees https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1617819536176-HNW4U7XWXWTZF1OC7PRN/Saint+Zotique+and+Chalet+ring+trees.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Ring Trees So, can you tell which ring tree was made where? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1617819574169-7WWMAA7S6RRS8RWXH6Y8/Saint+Zotique+and+Chalet+labels.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Ring Trees Left - St. Zotique tree and Chalet tree for Riekes Crisa distribution on the right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/4b8c7699-0de7-4d4a-81c8-751dd89d6280/onneby+ring+gallery.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Ring Trees - Make it stand out Circa 1983-1989. https://www.chaletvintageartglass.ca/articles/t1i3tjjln2ikkw8i0hfvz4wuvdn5nc monthly 0.5 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1616781987142-6D80EVQ3HSXRJJS6CT83/exhibit.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Paperweights My first signed ‘Chalet Canada’ paperweight.

The inclusion is of the blue flag iris, the flower native to Quebec that most closely resembles the fleur-de-lis. In 1999, after years of delay, the Quebec government finally gave into public pressure and, replacing the Madonna Lily, made the Blue Flag Iris Quebec's provincial emblem. Please be advised, however, that I have no documented proof of this. It is the second colour of the iris design - see orange coloured above. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1616783230714-BUY09X31OORKNB51DYVM/end+of+day+paperweight.JPG The Articles (old) - Chalet Paperweights The Chalet ‘confetti’ design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1616783299598-AZCATSOZDSZ3WLRG5K1O/Bradley+paperweight+%282%29.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Paperweights https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1616783905438-9ZWCGM0NL1IKNIWZF1D1/chalet_13_137.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Paperweights https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1630940646170-MVDB124ZA6MZT7EHKIF2/sea+anenome+pair.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Paperweights - Make it stand out The ‘sea anemone’ style and colours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1616784167889-ZBUHP1WIM2C8V9YBZSJO/Erica+DNA.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Paperweights https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1616784212770-D544YSN085NVQP7HKO4D/rg62.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Paperweights The “DNA” spiral’ paperweight design and colours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1620411213259-99ZER9BJI3NPQALVPQ2H/Dom+Smith+paperweight.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Paperweights Photograph courtesy of Don Smith, Cornwall Community Museum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1616785047470-35Y224EM18J7MZ843K6W/breast+implant+and+owl+egg+%282%29.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Paperweights https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1616785118701-46QA6TEDTBPVE9BLQ8GK/clear+Riekes+egg.jpg The Articles (old) - Chalet Paperweights One of my favourite little oddities.

I believe this may be a one-of-a-kind Chalet piece as to date, this is the only Chalet paperweight that I know of like this. Not egg shaped and bullicante as well. Etched with the ‘Chalet Canada’ signature. It is interesting that. with one exception, all the larger Chalet pieces that we have seen that are bullicante(fewer than a dozen) are amber – including this one. However, you will see bullicante and/or avventurina blue animals.

The inclusion is that of the blue flag iris, which is the flower native to Quebec that most closely resembles the fleur-de-lis. In 1999, after years of delays, the Quebec government finally gave into public and botanical pressure and, replacing the Madonna Lily, made the iris Quebec's provincial emblem.

Many of the artists that worked at Chalet Artistic Glass had also worked at the other Canadian glasshouses (Lorraine, EDAG and Mosaic) which were contemporaries of Chalet. And then many would later work at ‘Cristallerie Chalet Vie et Art’ in Saint Zotique, Quebec and at Rossi Artistic Glass, Cornwall, Ontario.

At left, a crystal and aqua avventuria and bullicante owl figurine. Gold dust was deeply ‘submerged’ within layers of clear crystal to produce this stunning metallic effect. Air bubbles were carefully blown into the piece in a controlled pattern. Middle, a cristallo buffle head duck animal figurine that was blown for his personal collection in 1965. At right, a crystal and aqua avventuria polar bear figurine. Silver flecks were deeply “submerged” within layers of clear crystal to produce this stunning metallic effect. These very rare pieces were loaned by Maestro Panizzon in 2010 for display at the “Art and Artisans of Chalet’ exhibit in Cornwall, Ontario. This photograph was taken in 2010 during a Cornwall photography shoot for the book “The Shapes and Colours of Chalet Glass” which was published in 2011. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/1613041310151-W0GYQ5ABXGTDS7TNYVF9/Guilio+Gatto.png The Chalet Artists, their Artistry and their Art Maestro Giulio Gatto works on a basket from the Chalet ‘End of Day’ line.

I was lucky enough to find it just before the 2010 Chalet exhibit opened in Cornwall so it went on display. Chalet Maestro Bruno Panizzon was stunned when he saw it as he was not aware that Chalet had ever produced paperweights and he was an artist there for over 12 years. If it hadn't been etched "Chalet Canada', I do not think he would have believed it was Chalet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/d689887d-e60a-40e9-a397-90fd6bf1fd1b/denada.jpg The Gallery - Really Rare https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/74d0e74b-872e-4038-aa96-e2e003e29930/David+Sutherland+tiny+pear.jpg The Gallery - Really Rare A lovely Chalet hand held pear ashtray. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/bb1e6110-fba3-477a-b4e7-040e6a60a8b9/David%27s+Russells+leaf.jpg The Gallery - Really Rare One of the styles of the Chalet maple leaf centerpiece.

I had this centerpiece (the cover piece of the 2010 book ‘The Shapes and Colours of Chalet Glass’) signed for collector Alex Wicks by 3 Chalet artists – Gianfranco Guarnieri, and Chalet Maestri Giulio Gatto and Bruno Panizzon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/e43494ed-b172-4943-a433-28e1acaf4dad/catalog+page+with+pieces.jpg The Time Machine - The Artefacts And we are fortunate enough to have a few original Chalet catalogue pages. These have given us valuable insight into production as well as design evolution. This original Chalet catalogue page was given to me by Chalet Maestro Giulio Gatto in 2010. You can see many familiar forms here but I would bet that few collectors have seen either of the bird dish centerpieces at top left and right. A photograph of form A 77 (bird dish at left) is included but I have never seen form A 78 which is the bird dish at top right. The blue ashtray, A 80, which is second from top at right is from the collection of 50 Shades member Gionny Gueli. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/585c10e3-11e1-40c9-a61b-e7e1fc388414/hang+tag+and+sticker.jpg The Time Machine - The Artefacts Artefacts in the form of Chalet labels and hang tags have survived. Not only does this basket retain its original Chalet branding, it also retains its retailer's sticker. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/7f4994ab-88f8-4169-beee-5099bdd3666b/Sid+Heyes+letter+and+piece.jpg The Time Machine - The Artefacts This letter was written September 13, 1966 by Chalet President Sid Heyes to a collector, Jim Schemiel, in Minnesota. It obviously made an impact on Mr. Schemiel to have survived for almost 60 years. It passed into the possession of 50 Shades member and collector extraordinaire Kevin Hall when he purchased the piece shown here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/7122839a-63a7-476f-9438-2ba166fc2395/Chalet+box.jpg The Time Machine - The Artefacts Photograph courtesy of 50 Shades member Roy Prins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/38c7e58f-f22c-4edf-a062-a77c875da345/show+signage.jpg The Time Machine - The Artefacts We have historical photographs and film clips.

The poster was hung in a public area of the factory. The Chalet premises did not have a fancy showroom. Quite the opposite - it had two cramped spaces carved out of hallways. Seen here is Chalet artist Antonio Tedesco with his niece Fiorella Pagnin and his nephew Francesco Pagnin. They were the son and daughter of Chalet owner, chemist and Maestro Sergio Pagnin. This photograph was given to me by Antonio Tedesco in 2010. He could not remember why or when it was taken. https://www.chaletvintageartglass.ca/the-time-machine/broughttolife monthly 0.5 2024-05-16 https://www.chaletvintageartglass.ca/the-time-machine/thestory monthly 0.5 2024-05-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/9d6efb49-b6b9-4fc3-adbe-365fef938186/Harbour+Rd_Chalet+Artistic+Glass+Ltd_1962-09-08_Operating+in+Cornwall+%28002%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/2818d3b9-118f-4cee-b76b-35f159a2b8e5/owners.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60132c343dcc51351d60f7ff/62437e1b-18e4-4a10-832b-1c08969ef902/artists.jpg
