Hi, Just got this, and wondering if anyone has any ideas on this at all. There does seem to be at least three different colors here. I think pic three shows the other color at the edge...then there is also another color inside the bowl, like a green. Very heavy...as you can tell.
Thanks in advance ;)

Looks like Murano glass?
-
The two areas I'd research first are Chalet of Canada ( used many glassblowers from Murano) and Pilgrim. They made a line mimicking the Chalet glass.

I purchased (won) this bowl (maybe it is an ashtray)......and the grapes, and the other bowl (with bubbles) at a *Thrift Store Silent Auction* they were having before Xmas to raise $$$$$$.
I hope I did OK on the three of these....
If nothing else, I guess I contributed to a worthwhile cause....in the Christmas Spirit :)

I have some pieces of chalet glass.....but I do not think that Chalet glass was made this thick.....this is quite thick...... :spls:

New photos with new camera (Thanks Santa)........help any better to identify??
Thanks

Chalet is very heavy, but usually signed by sandblasting. There's a really interesting thread at http://www.canadiandesignresource.ca/officialgallery/?p=594 by some people connected to Chalet. The gallery that did a great deal to promote Chalet was the Michel Blais Gallery in Vancouver. Their internet site has a few examples, but I'm not sure how totally reliable the site is. The url is http://www.mblaisgallery.com/home.html I heard a rumour that a book was to appear on Chalet, which would be very useful.
Your bowl doesn't look like Chalet to me, but I'm certainly no expert.

Thanks David....the quest is still on. You need a little crane just to lift this one...
If you hear anything more on a book on Chalet glass, that would be great to see.
I too (??) do not think it is Chalet glass - but then what do I know. When I first saw it, I tended to think Murano glass...but, then....I am an idiot when it comes to figuring glass things out... :-\

*polite bump*
-
Similiar....in a sense? The BIOMORPHIC design ? Yes, No, sort of...?

I'd sooner range it under Chrbska/ Czech than under Canada or Murano. In fact I handled a piece very much like it in an antique store in Lima yesterday and it had a label. Had a hilarious time trying to get the shopkeeper to pronounce Chrbska. (still recovering)
-
These bowls always cause problems, but hopefully in the next few weeks, a colleague will be sending me 180 pages of Chribska production catalogues, averaging 20 items per side in full colour, to upload to www.sklounion.com, showing a huge range of products, which will be available to GMB members to view. The job of id-ing these may then be a little easier.
Regards,
Marcus

That'd be great Marcus! It'll certainly test people's mettle (how much they want to identify their item) by going through 180 pages! >:D ;) ;D
-
Nice to see you back Ivo! << waves >>
Lima yesterday, reality today... :-\
-
A Chribska catalogue? Great! I'm sure that will solve all kinds of attribution problems, especially in Canada where we have so much Chalet. It's not until I come across the occasional Chribska piece with a label that I again realize how often I overlook the attribution. Was it Chribska who made the tall sommerso vases with the pulled and sometimes heat treated surfaces?
Thanks, again, Marcus.

Does this help anyone ?

Yes, Sue, thank you!
-
Those are great links! I live about 2 hrs away from David, so I see a lot of Chalet glass too, though I'm in the US. Almost all of this kind of glass is listed as Murano or Chalet on ebay, so it's great to have references.
-
You are most welcome, this is my piece, please note that it has no handles!! ::) that is an optical illusion, also look at the colour to the lower part of the vase, i dont think i have seen this colour connected to Murano.
Alltogether now........"But i could be wrong!" ;D
-
I agree, it doesn't look like Murano.
-
Although NOT Murano or Chalet glass, i have to say this is a lovely piece, it is very heavy, 5lbs 15oz..and 11ins tall and i love it.
-
180 pages wow...let us know when, and looking forward to seeing it. :chky:
How do say Chribska ?
-
** Just a Bump on this item here -- Was the Catalog done ? **
As stated by Marcus (Sklounion) in 2008:
"These bowls always cause problems, but hopefully in the next few weeks, a colleague will be sending me 180 pages of Chribska production catalogues, averaging 20 items per side in full colour, to upload to www.sklounion.com, showing a huge range of products, which will be available to GMB members to view.

So just wondering?...and IF the ID of this item is known for sure then......and still do not know how you say Chribska
I think my photography *taking* has gotten much better since 2007......LOL ;D
-
.....and still do not know how you say Chribska
Rose, Anne has got a lovely page on glasspeak: http://glasspeak.yobunny.org.uk/
Apparently you are supposed to say "Krib-ska" (I say 'Hrybska' only because in Polish, 'Ch' is pronounced 'H'... I guess not in Czech).
-
Hi friends. Rather do not try it to pronounce it. The best approximation can reach Anik.
Chřibská
"Ch" is not known in English, Polish or Croatian "h" is good equivalent
ř - special Czech sound - nearest is Polish "rz" - for example in name Jerzi or rzecpospolita
á - line above means long sound "aa"
All Chribska catalogues available to me are at my web site in section Katalogy - Catalogues, note please that the most recent productions came from Egermann-Exbor - http://picasaweb.google.cz/Jindra8526/EgermannExborHutniSklo#

Possibility it could be Japanese as well...i have seen a few on aussie ebay in this green & amber combination with the bulbs (inverted and not) that I suspect to be Japanese...no confirmation as hopefully a label piece will turn up eventually...another lead to follow antique...
-
Thanks kane_u_pain
I think I will just take whole new pictures, as I think my picture taking is a bit better since these were posted, and know how to crop pics -- as some were taken with cell phone camera, and others were taken still as a newbie....Think I will just redo the shot, and get some more detail to see if that can help.
Then maybe we can go from there -- as the angle of these are horse pucky :spls2: See at least as these pic were taken in 2007. I have now 3 years of better taking pics (I hope)
:thup:

If you could it would be great...especially of the inverted bulbs ;D...
