Rare Chalet
Artistic Glass Sergio Panini Green Glass Pitcher with Virgin Mary Face
Prunt Blob Seal Face
Here is a classy vintage Chalet Artistic Glass green art glass pitcher with face prunt. Air bubbles & straw marks are seen in the glass. This happened during the process of being made.
This rare early pitcher has a simple elegance. Hand made by the Canadian Chalet Artistic Company. This piece has the applied face prunt that is a signature design of Chalet owner, chemist and master blower Sergio Pagnin.
Chalet owner and Maestro Sergio
Pagnin came from a long line of glass blowers on Murano and was a chemist as
well. However, his destiny was not to remain in Murano but to make art glass
history in Cornwall with his brothers-in-law, Angelo and Luigi Tedesco.
Sergio was responsible for creating and safeguarding the color formulas that brought Chalet glass to life and is best remembered for designing the decorative face prunt.
