:shock:  I vote for Belgium.    :shock:

Lustrousstone:
The colours of the Murano/Chalet? pieces never seem very Murano/Italian to me, including this one. They remind me very much of some of the domestic glassware I find at boot sales and junk shops in the UK. I suspect it dates from the 1950s or 1960s. It's quite nicely made and my thoughts on where tend toward Bohemia or possibly Japan. So I suppose the question is where do the roots of Chalet lie?

Edited to add I suppose Belgium is also an option.

Err, surely you buy to research?

France and Belgium are also candidates for this style.

Deb of Oz:
Err um well I guess that's my professional streak showing. I was (long ago before computers) a librarian. We can't afford to buy 'book and non-book materials' for a library and find it wasn't suitable, so we research the item first. :oops: I am not an impulsive buyer of anything.

However I also worked in the film & tv industry where you learn to think in millions, so real life can be a challenge.

At this point I am trying to develop an 'eye' for glass, a visual vocabulary. It is difficult to judge 'quality' or even colour, from a book or fuzzy pic on ebay. I don't know how much UK & European glass would have come here, and therefore what can be reasonably expected to surface for sale.

I am moving increasingly to buying Australian art glass from the start of the studio movement here, because I can see it in person, it is more likely to have provenance, and may have a cultural relevance lacking in the nice stuff I see online.

Catisfaction:
Personally this is screaming Poland at me. I've seen several recent baskets and vases like that with poland labels.
