  10. Thanks for your time...cheers
  11. I think I can safely say that your piece is a Chribska...mine is very similar to yours. My piece has the Belfor Crystal import label.
  12. I came across a duck in my search and I found one exactly matching this one with an etched "Chalet Canada" on the bottom
  13. Looks great with the UV light

  17. The tails are the part of the bird that are the most vulnerable...I agree.
  18. I scooped this up today from my favorite consignment store for a ridiculously low price.

  24. I really like the alexandrite (neodymium) glass myself. I have a recent post with a swordfish that I didn't realize was neodymium when I first purchased it. It is always a good surprise...cheers

  31. This piece confuses me...It was bought at Eaton's in 1962...I still might lean towards saying it is a piece of Canadian art glass. ??
  32. Antiquerose....I usually wrap the big pieces of Chalet in old towels and box them separately and put them in Rubbermaid tubs...cheers

  46. Collectomaniac.... I believe that Chalet glass actually stopped producing pieces around 1986.The uranium pieces are lighter but under natural light, they are quite bright. They also glow under a bla...
  47. I'm actually going to take other pictures of this piece......these pictures don't show how bright it actually is...the pictures don't do it any justice.... Thanks for comments.
  48. Thanks racer4four and Rick55.....
