Hi Sid and Rose,
The cranberry bowl is Rossi - "Heritage Cranberry " was his line. And I totally agree with you that id's between Chalet's cranberry and Rossi's cranberry can get very confusing. Mostly due to Maestro Rossi's vintage pieces and the naming of his lines being very derivative of Chalet. Rossi came to Chalet from Lorraine and worked there in the early 70's until Chalet declared bankruptcy - he was another Murano glass blower and like the rest of that group of artists knew the Tedescos and Pagnins from Italy. Chalet is where he achieved Maestro status. So if a Chalet or Rossi piece of cranberry has lost its hang tag - can be very tough. Rossi did buy Chalet 's equipment after its closure (with a partner) but not the name or building and then started his own company.Although many people believed he "saved" Chalet and Chalet ran until 1981 - not so - Chalet as Chalet was over in the June of 1975. Another Rossi "myth" is that he "invented" Chalet's cranberry - not so, Maestro Pagnin (owner and brother-in-law) was Chalet's chemist and he developed all the lines (3) that used cranberry.
Rossi also caused incredble confusion with the naming of his companies - Artistic Lighting, Rossi Artistic Glass, Artistic Glass, Rossi Glass............. and then there was Mosaic Artistic Glass in Cornwall as well so quite the "glass soup". Rossi, like Chalet, used a variety of labels, pontil marks and hang tags.
Plus he used N.C. Cameron as a distributor - they were a major distributor of Chalet.
Chalet marketed their hand-moulded ribbed glass as "Canadian Heritage Glass" and their cranberry under "Canadiana Cranberry". Riekes Crisa in the US distributed the cranberry under the "John Riekes Collection" and N.C. Cameron in Canada also carried the cranberry as one of their lines as well. Chalet's ribbed ashtrays (like the one you refer to from my site) can also be etched "Chalet Canada" on the base and you can also find a variety of CH stampings on the ribbed Chalet pieces that have footed crystal petal bases.
I am just about to bring out a "supersized" revised edition of my 2010 "Chalet Marks, Labels and Product Lines" reference guide which has a really expanded section on the "Similar yet Different" Canadian Italian glass houses of that era - at least what we know that's been verifedLOL Tough getting info about those times. Chalet's markings were really "hit or miss" - another section added to the new guide as so many mismarks and products from one line given the wrong marking. There were only 2 people doing marking at production end - the artists told me when they got really busy everyone and anyone (cousins, neices, nephews........) were roped into marking so could be very confusing. Plus alot simply didn't get marked.
Hope this has helped and not just added to the confusion. Rose, we need you to post on the Chalet forum too! You haven't visited there in a very long time. And Sid - you visit but don't post. I would love to hear from both of you!
