Title: So Pretty ....... Blue Bowl
Post by: antiquerose123 on August 16, 2011, 07:24:50 AM

 :hi: there:

I bought this for a few dollars at an Antique Store in another town.  It is such pretty colors!!  It is 6 inches by 6 inches by 3.25 inches high.  Very Solid, heavy piece.  Bottom has very good wear on it for age.   Not sure if this is a Candy Bowl, or an Ashtray, or just a Bowl ??  Pretty shades of blue with a tint of Green.  I bought it for the Color.  I have no idea, but IF I were to guess..........maybe Chalet ??  but not sure, but does have good base wear.

Any ideas?

Thanks, as always!!  :kissy:

 :smg:  ......and YES, it does *Glow*  :mrgreen:

Rose: 

My guess on this one is Chalet. They did a "four butt" (not my choice of words) ashtray and these colours were used by Chalet. One of the nicer Chalet pieces I've seen.

Hey Rose, you know how I mentioned Vetro Artistico Veneziano for your other bowl?  Well I was just doing one of my usual searches through ebay when I came across this:

300588996452 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300588996452&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123)

Looks similar to this blue bowl, and has the Vetro Artistico Veneziano label found on the other bowls.

To be honest though, I think this design might be done by a few makers.  Here's some by Mandruzzato:

I think this is a different shape Wayne. It doesn't have the sort of outer row of lower lobes.

I agree that this could be by a number of makers, but I still favour Chalet. And remember, all the Chalet glass-makers were originally from Murano.

Thanks all -- I love the color of this, and a Nice Big Chunk of glass that Glows too  :mrgreen:

I have been digging around some too, and I am thinking this might be Chalet ?? but still hard to tell the maker on this one.  It is kinda missing those pulled lobes on the outside but still does have the influence of Murano.

I am not sure IF this one I found on Ebay (might ??) be the same, or not.  Kinda looks the same with the 4 butt corners......IMHO......and it is marked with Chalet on the Bottom.

See what you think  ?? 310104063386 ?? (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310104063386?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm570.l2736%26_nkw%3D310104063386%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1).  This (I think) looks like my bowl.  It is called a Chalet Floriform Bowl there...

Whatever it is, I love the Blue Color (kinda a teal color) and the fact that this *hunk* of Glass Glows too.  That was a Double + +  for  me.  :thup:

Rose, I was looking at something tonight and I ran across a signed ICET amber bowl that looks like your bowl. ICET did do uranium work. I can't post the pictures here because they are not mine. I'll email them to you and you can decide if it is the same bowl.

I own this one with a Chalet Acid stamp underfoot........

I agree with David and I vote Chalet for yours also....

I concede that it is probably not the ICET design. When I looked at the UV photos, yours does not appear to have the arc-like structures on the side of the bowl. It was just the optics.

I hope for Chalet. It would be a lot better than ICET!  :X:

Rose:  Yes, the bowl there does look like your bowl. The price is totally ridiculous, though, almost as silly as some of the language the seller uses. Chalet didn't use names like floriform so most of the names are more descriptive names that have been applied by collectors. "Four-butt" is more prosaic but more accurate in terms of describing function.  It's also become clear that a fair bit of Chalet was unsigned as that department couldn't keep up with demand.
