Unknown Cranberry Glass Bowl (Swirls) -- MYSTERY ??

(1/2) > >>

 :hi:

Found this yesterday -- and a bit of a mystery to me.  I think it is Canadian glass, but not sure of the maker.  My two opinions would be either CHALET GLASS or maybe ROSSI GLASS.  It does have a  silver / Red foil label on it stating:

" Heritage - Cranberry Collection - Handcrafted in Canada " (also in French on the one side of label)
I am not finding much about this label or any reference to Chalet, or Rossi with a name of Heritage??   So is this a label for the glass, or an *export label* as a possibility?  Nice to find a label on it, period - but no help.

~ Cranberry Ruffled with Clear edging
~ Intact label
~ Scalloped Edges
~ About 7 inches wide
~ 3.25 inches high
~ Base has some wear.

So right now it is a Mystery to me.  If I had to lean one way (I think) I would lean to Chalet -- but then -- it feels like a lighter Glass.  So I am torn as to *who* the maker is.   I does look similar to the Chalet (green) bowl I posted, but I have never held one of those in my hand so not sure of weight (etc).  If anyone has any idea, it would be greatly appreciated.

While trying to goggle here ............... I never knew that to get the Cranberry color that 22 kt Gold is used?  Learn something new here.  Does that make Cranberry glass any more collectible?

Thanks - gotta run to Dr. App this morning   :ghug:

Thanks Sid:

...but did you see that Chalet page **HERE and go to the Second page (of the Greens there)...see the bottom row their is a swirled, and ruffled ashtray that *kinda* looks like this too.  That is why I was drawing a        Blank       .   As I have never seen or held one of those Chalet ribbed/swirled Ashtrays as shown in that pic.

I tried googling Rossi with the word Heritage it in, but did not get any hits so that is why I am ??  and  :thud:

So doesn't that throw a loop in things with a swirling Green Chalet glass -- much like this too, eh?

Got my lead from Deborah's post to the Chalet Vintage Collectors Circle forum where she states that "Heritage Cranberry" was a Rossi line.  Remember that Rossi had worked earlier at Chalet.  Here is a link to the forum:

Deborah is a member here as well so hopefully she can confirm this.

Thanks Sid ....

Now it is leaning  :usd: towards Rossi glass.  Thanks for that link.  Geeez everybody has a name so similar it does get confusing.  Did you watch those Vids I just posted in the glass Vid section (GMB)  about Rossi Glass.  They also talk about Murano there.  Not that we do not know that, but nice to watch the videos about it.  Also it says that Rossi glass used *22 kt Gold* in the cranberry line.  So that is neat to know. Does every glass producer that makes cranberry use  22 kt gold in it to make that color?

On the flip side here - have you seen/held one of those swirled Chalet Glass (like the link of the Green one)?  I never have.  I was just going by a picture.....so that is what confused me.

Funny part of it all - was when I first picked up this glass bowl the other day -- Rossi was the first thing that popped in my mind.  After I got home I started to think about it more and started to think I saw something swirled in Chalet to.  Guess I should have went with my gut feeling in the first place.

Do you have an idea of the age at all? 

Thanks a zillion Sid           :thup: to you!!
