About the Item

Vintage Mid-Century art glass vase was made by Chalet in sommerso technique with green colored glass gather cased over with clear-colored glass. Its distinctive, free formed twisting shape is accented with decorative fins along the body and spires on the top. The shape was listed in first Chalet catalogue as V32, and is sometimes referred to as "Crystal Twist" by collectors. Each V32 vase is hand blown and therefore unique. The vase is signed with etched emblem to the base. Chalet was founded by Angelo Tedesco, a Venetian trained master glass blower, glass cutter and engraver, in 1962, after he relocated his Murano Glass studio from Montreal to Cornwall and renamed the company to reflect the new location. Most of Chalet’s artists had worked with glass as apprentices of famous Venetian artists such as Archimedes Seguso, Itamo Pustetto, Mario Fuga, Paolo Venini, Alfredo Barbini, Nino D’Este and Aldo Fuga. Chalet operated until 1975.

Carl Erickson Sommerso Vase, American Art Studio Glass 1940s-1950s
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Sculptural Mid Century Modern teal and clear glass decorative vase was created by Carl Erickson for Erickson Glass Works. The vase has Erickson's typical heavy encased glass design, with the teal glass gather encased in clear glass in sommerso technique and the pronounced base done in clear glass with controlled bubbles. The pontil is ground. The vase is in good vintage condition with some age-appropriate signs of wear on the bottom. It is unsigned, as vast majority of Ericson piece were, and is missing its sticker, but can be clearly identified by multiple printed and online catalogues and other resources. Carl Erickson (1899-1966) worked at Pairpoint Manufacturing Company, joining his father as an apprentice and spending the next 20 years developing a high level of craftsmanship, including precision use of controlled bubbles, a technique often associated with Pairpoint, that was widely used by Erickson in his own glass designs. In the early 1930s he was employed by Libbey Glass and from 1937 - by the Blenko Glass Company. After leaving Blenko, Carl founded his own art glass studio in Bremen, Ohio in 1943. Erickson glass was hand blown, so no two pieces could be identical. Erickson made reproductions for a number of museums, including the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, D.C., Old Sturbridge Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Corning Museum of Glass, and the Ohio State Historical Society Museum. Many of his glass creations have been selected for display at several distinguished museums, and in 1953 a traveling...
