This exquisite and majestic work of mid-century art glass is attributed and bears the technical hallmarks of Canadian art glassworks Chalet Artistic Glassworks which was originally located in Cornwall, Ontario. (Estd. 1962 to 1975)
Crafted with the heritage of Murano techniques, this particular piece uses the technique of Sommerso [tr. 'Submerged'] to capture the liquid Tangelo orange colour into the clear crystal base casing. The impressive 'wings' of the dish are teased outwards from the centre as the dish unfurls. Further complimenting the form are beautifully and evenly ridged lobes that trace the unfolding form.
