The molten glass was pulled and shaped while hot, giving the piece its fluid, almost calligraphic silhouette and ensuring that no two examples are exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clear crystal casing becomes particularly pronounced along the curled ends and substantial sculptural base, framing the vivid orange interior and amplifying the movement of the form. Viewed from different angles, the overlapping arms create continually changing lines, reflections and concentrations of colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sculptural \u003cstrong\u003e“spike and curl”\u003c\/strong\u003e form is closely associated with Chalet's production and demonstrates the theatrical, free-form approach for which the Canadian glassworks became known during the 1960s and 1970s. Specialist Chalet research documents both spike-and-curl and related curled centerpiece forms as part of the firm's production. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chalet Artistic Glass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cornwall, Ontario, Canada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e c. 1960s–1970s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-blown art glass \/ crystal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tangerine orange and clear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-blown, cased, pulled and hand-formed glass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-Century Modern \/ Canadian Modernist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Etched “CHALET CANADA” signature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eCondition\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVery good vintage condition with light age-appropriate surface wear.
