Vintage C. F. Monroe Wavecrest Glass Dresser Box

This exquisite vintage dresser box, crafted by C. F. Monroe, showcases the elegance of Wavecrest glass from around 1890. Decorated with charming hand-painted flowers, the box is stamped with “Trade Mark Wave Crest” on the bottom. Measuring 3" in diameter and standing 2.75" high, it is a delightful addition to any collection. **History:** Wavecrest glass, originally known as "Opal Ware," was popular between 1890 and 1910. Produced mainly by the Mt. Washington Glass Co., these opal glass blanks were purchased by the C. F. Monroe Co. for decoration by skilled artisans. This craftsmanship is evident in the detailed floral designs adorning the box. The condition of this lovely piece is excellent, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. There is rub marks on the outside glazing, as seen in pictures. The brass band displays minor signs of tarnish, while the satin interior has seen better days, which is common for these types of boxes considering the age of the piece. **Key Features:** - **Era:** Circa 1890 - **Materials:** Opal glass with brass fittings - **Dimensions:** 3" diameter x 2.75" high - **Condition:** Excellent with minor tarnishing on the brass band.
