Lorraine Glass: Green over Clear

Uncommon Colourway

Uncommon Find

5/10

This rare and majestic Canadian vintage art glass sculpture takes the form of a stylized phoenix or mythic bird, executed in vibrant emerald green cased over clear crystal. Its dramatically pulled wings and curled tail are masterfully shaped, rising with fluid elegance from a molten base that rests on a trio of thick, organic feet. The head, finely detailed with a flowing crest and beak, adds expressive character to the piece, while the clear glass detailing provides striking contrast and depth. Produced by Chalet or Lorraine Glass, this showpiece exemplifies the theatrical flair and technical brilliance of mid-century Canadian glass artistry, an extraordinary collector’s item blending movement, form, and fantasy.
