No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Thanks for posting this. Through Fat Lava and related ceramics, I've been lucky enough to meet the author Conrad on a number of occasions. He's a great expert, very knowledgeable and passionate, and is open and generous with his experience and knowledge. He's also a really great guy!

Hi Anne,
No, I don't think he is a GMB member. But I do recall that last time we communicated he was very busy between his work at the Royal Ontario Museum and his book on Blue Mountain ceramics. But who am I to say?! I'll drop him a message and say hello. I'm planning to make a blog post drawing (deserved) attention to this article anyhow.
Best,
Mark

It's an excellent link, which I think has been recently updated. The other link which is useful for Chalet, listed but inaccurately in the article, is http://www.canadiandesignresource.ca/officialgallery/glass/chalet-glass-bowl/  There's some interesting recollections by people closely connected to the beginnings of Chalet. The Michel Blais link is of limited use now.
