A mixed bunch?

Della:
Thanks for the recap Peter, it was getting a little confusing :oops: .


--- Quote from: "Peter" ---Marcus and I had thought at one time that there was a relationship beween them but the colours in Dellas are more muted and the flanges slimmer - but still solid, Della ?

Yes, solid.
I actually have two of these vases in different sizes.

As for #1.........I love it too. Thanks for the compliment. I am not sure what it is about this style of glass that attracts me. I think it must be the fact that it 'looks alive.' :)

Hi

Peter thanks for your post - ref Della's #3 vase I see things clearer now.

I agree totally and note on looking at more Chalet vases of this type link that the form including the flanges are more rigid and moulded looking than your lovely colourful Czech vases (you mention this).

I have to say that Chalet seem to have set out to emulate Murano and Czech glass, they have Murano type baskets and bowls and this piece has a definite resemblance to a Vizner design link  

I have some Altaglass Peter and agree it is not like Chalet - mostly glass animals? link  

I find this an interesting thread and am left wanting to know more about Chalet :shock:

"Yes, solid"  >Thanks Della just as well to have that confirmed while we were at it.

"I love it too" >Well if you ever fall out of love with it let me know !

Adam
I quite like the pink Chalet you show
(eeek whats happening ? I dont like pink !)

"emulate" - good word
I was so tempted to use the c*** word but managed to restrain myself

Vizner design link > That is taking emulation too far !!  :o  OUTRAGOUS  :x

"left wanting to know more about Chalet" >
er like how they sleep at night ?
They certainly seemed to spread it around the globe ...
I was mildly surprised when I began to realise how much of it there is in UK given that we see so little modern US glass and Canada is not a low cost producer. But then we will import anything from anywhere.
Now, Della has shown us that it's in Holland too ! Where else I wonder ? :roll:

Now I'll have to buy a piece to judge the quality for myself  :wink:

Pip:
I've now got a couple of pieces I'm attributing to Chalet - both very similar to Adam P's beautiful green and blue one in shape but in different colours.  Whilst researching these pieces and reading up on Chalet I read somewhere that the reason they're often mistaken for Murano is because the Canadian government brought Murano glassblowers over specifically to set up Chalet Glass.  So in a way describing them as such wouldn't be totally inaccurate.

David555:
I think that is true Pip

"Chalet were called Murano Glass Incorporated 1960-62" from A-Z fact file pp31)

I wonder if they brought in Czech designers as well :wink:
