Chalet Art Glass Freeform Green Sommerso Vase 1960s
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...

Henry Summa Sommerso Helix Vase, American Studio Art Glass
By Henry Summa
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Graphic art glass vase was created with intertwining spiral coil helixes in dark red and pale-yellow glass fused in clear glass layer; the clear glass is encasing the deep, complex blue glass core in sommerso technique. The placement of helixes in clear glass layer creates an unexpected play of light and shadows, adding depth and definition to the piece. Minimal shape of the vase allows the bold flow of the pattern to take the center stage.
The vase is signed and dated by the artist in etching on the bottom; rare, hard to find example of New Mexico studio glass would make a great gift to any studio glass or art collector.
Henry Summa (1949-2008) has been working in glass since 1972. His early training in the glass arts was based on an apprenticeship at renowned Glory Hole Glassworks in New Mexico. Canyon Road Studio, known then as Glory Hole Glassworks, was owned by Peter Vanderlaan...

Vitrix Hot Glass Studio Sommerso Coral and White Vase, New York Art Glass
By Thomas Buechner III, Thomas Kelly
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Striking Organic Modern vase was hand blown with thin layer of white glass underlying the two-toned coral glass. The coral-beige swirls were arranged in abstract, graphic pattern on light coral background, with the whole structure enclosed in clear glass in sommerso technique. Minimal shape and color palette of the piece allows the delicate, subtle flow of the pattern to take the center stage.
The vase is signed and dated by the artist on the bottom.
Founded in 1979 by brothers Matthew and Thomas Buechner III in Corning's Market Street District, Vitrix Hot Glass Studio is regarded among America's prominent contemporary glass studios.
Thomas Buechner (1926-2010) attended Princeton University, the Art Students League in New York and the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. Buechner was appointed Director of the Corning Museum of Glass in 1950 after his tenure as an exhibition designer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Buechner established the Museum's academic journals and curated the groundbreaking exhibition, Glass 59, that was the first to explore international works in contemporary glass. The first Director of The Corning Museum of Glass (1950-1960) and then Director of the Brooklyn Museum (1960-1971), Buechner simultaneously worked as an illustrator for the Chicago Tribune’s and the Washington Post’s “Book World”. Since then, he has been an independent artist, and a mentor to many aspiring artists in the community. As author and lecturer, Buechner is known to glass scholars, artists and collectors. He wrote the glass section for the Encyclopedia Britannica and founded both the Journal of Glass Studies and the New Glass Review. His art has been acquired by museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American Art. He taught in Rome and Germany, Corning and Elmira.

At Vitrix, visiting artists such as Lino Tagliapietra and Fritz Dreisbach...
