Description

This is a set of beautiful Victorian era opal glass/ware vases made between 1890 - 1916 in the U.S. by the C. F. Monroe company. This is one of their very recognizable glass styles -- the Wave Crest pattern -- which is relief style, with elegant swirls that stand out from the glass. On the vases is a hand painted pattern of pink blossoms, perhaps cherry blossoms. Each side of the vase has a unique painted flower design -- the artist was not following an exact image, but rather creating a beautiful painting as they went. I love this set. It's pretty amazing to find two of these that go together. If you'd like to read more about the history of the C. F. Monroe company, you can do so here at this website I found, while researching: https://agsssc.org/project/the-c-f-monroe-story/ There's also a note there that explains that most of C. F. Monroe's pieces were unsigned, but that this does not detract from the value -- as his signature Wave Crest pieces were so clearly made by the company: "While many of Monroe’s most commercial pieces were signed, a large number of the finest pieces, especially in the Wave Crest line were not signed. (they may have had paper labels). These unsigned beauties have far greater aesthetic worth and eventually will have a far greater value than the simple, signed pieces. I have often seen collectors leave a beautiful piece because it was unsigned. In my opinion, the signature is totally unnecessary in 99.9% of C.F. Monroe glass, and does not make the piece worth more or less. The glass and decoration are usually so distinctive, to even the early collector, that it can easily be recognized as a piece of C.F. Monroe." Item specs: 10" tall 2" diameter at the top each vase weighs 1 Ib 2.3 Oz This is a beautiful set to decorate a Victorian era home, to add to your Victorian collection, or vase collection. The only wear is scratching -- and it doesn't detract from the beauty of the pieces. No chips or cracks.
