A pair of ALTAglass handblown art glass birds. Fascinating historic value here! Mint condition, tags on. ALTAglass, an important company in Alberta's history. “Altaglass objects are in total harmony with mid-century modern design,” says Perron. “Their clean and flowing lines are part of their invigorated design, signaling a post-war transition from past to present. Altaglass contributed to the deployment of modernity in Canada and across the Prairies, with all that this implies.”In the late 1930's John Furch, his wife and daughter, Margarete, were helped to England by the Czechs and British........In England, Furch worked on a farm for a year, but when war broke out he resumed his previous occupation of welding, then quickly switched to glass making at Nazeing Glass Works near London. In 1942 he became foreman in a new glass plant in Yorkshire, England. Two years later he returned to the Nazeing Glass Works and remained there until 1949 when he emigrated to Canada...." and hence the story of Altaglass begins. Yes the Company Altaglass was located in Medicine Hat Alberta. Medicine Hat, a City in the Province of Alberta, Canada is located in a major oil and gas field and that is what originally attracted John Furch, the founder of Altaglass to set up his Company there; a cheap source of natural gas.
