Lot 321:
Signed Chalet Blue Sommerso Pulled Art Glass Vase
Sold for: $65
Description
This hand-blown art glass vase is a product of the Chalet Glass Company of Cornwall, Ontario, Canada, as confirmed by the etched cursive signature on the base and the distinct freeform design. The piece is executed using the sommerso (submerged) technique, featuring a vibrant cobalt blue interior core encased in a thick, heavy layer of clear lead crystal. The form follows a classic mid-century modern aesthetic, with a solid, weighted base transitioning into a fluid body that terminates in four hand-pulled pointed tips at the flared rim. The exterior clear glass surface displays organic ridges and vertical twists created during the manual pulling process, enhancing the play of light through the heavy crystal. The etched signature Chalet is visible on the underside of the clear glass base.
Condition report:
The vase is in very good condition with no visible chips, cracks, or repairs. The glass retains excellent clarity and deep color saturation. There is typical, light shelf wear on the underside of the base, consistent with its age and use as a display piece.
