In the early 1800′s, Chico was an important center for gold mining, railroad construction and ranching. By the late 1800′s, Chico had grown into a charming Victorian community. The quaint atmosphere soon created one of the most distinctive valley towns in California. About 1893, one characteristic home with a carriage house was built in the historic Oriental section of town. Located between Orient Street and Flume Street, this site was destined to play an important role in the story Orient & Flume. Early work of the studio was directed toward recreating the silver-luster of iridescent glass of such turn-of-the-century artists as Tiffany, Steuben, and Loetz. In time, this led to their current creations of intricate, three-dimensional design’s encased in clear glass. By 1973 the carriage house proved to be too small for a rapidly growing business and was relocated to 2161 Park Avenue. The work of Orient & Flume can be found in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum, the Smithsonian Museum, the Chicago Art Institute, the Chrysler Museum, the Corning Glass Museum and fine stores and galleries throughout the world.

VINTAGE ORIENT & FLUME IRIDESCENT PAPERWEIGHT. 1978 – SIGNED – #174M. This is a stunning Orient & Flume paperweight! The teal-colored flowers are set on an iridescent teal background. They are accented by purple pulled feathers around the lower half and with silver and purple columns and swirls. The actual colors, which are quite vibrant and bright, were difficult to catch, probably due to light sources and camera limitations. The paperweight measures about 3″ in diameter and 2.5″ in height and weighs 1 pound, 5 ounces. It is in very good condition with no visible nicks, chips, or cracks. The bottom has only a few scratches. There is one possible scratch on the side (see last photo) that is only visible on close inspection. Orient & Flume was founded in 1972 in Chico, California, between Orient & Flume Streets. The studio is still in operation in Chico. Their early work centered on creating iridescent art pieces. This paperweight, dated 1978, is an example of that early work. Orient & Flume art glass pieces are found in some of the major museum glass collections, such as the Smithsonian, the Metropolitan Museum, the Chrysler Museum, and the Corning Glass Museum.
