$394.94

Rare figurine. It stands just under 12" tall and is approximately 8" long and 6" wide. Weight is just over 7 pounds. This is truly an impressive piece. The piece is not marked but has all the characteristics of Chalet Art Glass from Ontario, Canada.
This is from an interview with one of the Chalet artists who created the elephant figurine:

Roberto was asked: “What was your favorite piece to work?”

-the big animals – especially the elephants. They were done at Chalet, Rossi and Saint. Zotique. They took 3 people to make and the largest size (12”) weighed over 10 lbs. You had to work fast and as a team and the animal was done in 3 stages – the body was done first, then returned to the oven, the head and ears were attached and returned to the oven and finally the legs were attached. It was hard and had to be done very quickly.
