Stands about 7 1/2 ' high and quite heavy, Marked " exBor Czechoslovakia ". Designed by Pavel Hlava , master glass craftsman ( 1924 -2003 ). Extremely rare & museum quality. For the most part , North American glass collectors haven't seen enough of this glass, which was well ahead of the other studio glass movements in design and technical execution, with the exception of the Swedish makers. Vibrant colours, innovative shapes, pinpoint precision. There were at least 100 master glass art graduates in the 1960's which led to a very high level of standards and competition, bringing out the best in everybody. A fellow named Egermann initially created the exbor studio, whereby art glass was done at exbor while other utility items were made at Egermann. Eventually both affiliates were soon absorbed into one company called Chystalex in 1974. All EXBOR pieces are highly desirable and expensive. They all belong in museums. 1960's Czech glass is highly rated and continues the trend of setting new price records for modernist glass from this country. Price: $455.00 CDN

From a distance this paintng explodes with tremendous accuracy showing a shallow swamp lake or back bay at night, complete with a dark sky and starlight.

I have no infgormation on this artist. Appears to be painted in the 1940's or 1950's. A masterrpiece of work in its' own right ! Price: $550.00 CDN

Circa 1959 - 1961 ? Salette studied and painted alongside Jean Paul Riopelle druring the late 1950's and 1960's, albeit he was younger in age at that time and junior to Riopelle. He did much in the area of abstract art. I consider his work better than Riopelle, or at least as good. Salette is by far lesser known but is talked about in sharp art circles. He is also known for his abstract called " Azimut " , painted in 1961. This work is a masterpiece in superb undamaged condition. Unsigned as most of his works as they interfered with his presentations on the canvas. Double tagged on the back with his original gallery typeset labels. This art pieces explodes off the canvas in a dazzling array of colours simply putting you.....inside a tempest, so to speak. Belongs in a distinguished gallery or private collection. Superb in every way. Ex Karl Mearns private collection. Price: $1250.00 CDN

Old pieces come … A superb undamaged example of a vintage Murano glass fish. This is a good piece to look at when studying whether or not a fish is vintage or not. Old pieces come with a bulbuous triangular base, a strong body colour with bullicante bubbles as well as having aventurine accented fins, eyes, and lips. Complete with its' original red foil sticker. More than one Murano glass house made fish in their shops so figuring out who exactly made them is more or less guesswork. Fish such as this have been found with Seguso labels as well so this would be the best guess. Circa 1955 - 1962. Superb and museum quality ! Price: $265.00 USD
