Description

Take a look at this GORGEOUS VINTAGE KELVA C F MONROE WAVE CREST FLORAL SIGNED DRESSER PUFF JAR BOX. Condition is "Used". Shipped FREE TO YOU via USPS Priority Mail.
This beautiful puff box or dresser jar is from the turn of the century. (1890-1910). The “Kelva” line was made by the Mt. Washington Glass Co. and was decorated at the C F Monroe Co. Factory. The jar is considered to be part of the Wave Crest family which was most famous for their large dresser jars and handled biscuit jars.
The jar was purchased by me some 25 years ago from a Coral Gables, Florida estate. It has rested on my dresser in my smoke-free, pet-free, air conditioned home. The jar has been lightly dusted through the years. The jar has not been washed, polished, altered or repaired in any way. It comes to you exactly as I purchased it.
The jar measures approximately 3 7/8 inches across the top, 4 1/2 inches across the base and it stands approximately 2 1/2 inches high.
The intricate embossed pink to white flowers with olive-green leaves and stems is set upon a blue mottled geometric pattern. This is true art glass! The design over the entire jar shows no scratches, nicks, chips, crazing or color loss.
The metal around outside and inside of the jar including the hinge and front closure clasp shoes diffuse color loss. The hinge opens and closes easily. There is a gap when the jar is closed, which is greater on the right side when facing the jar from the front. (SEE PHOTOS)
The inner lining has multiple tears on the top and is almost gone on the bottom. The bottom of the jar is signed with the “K” from Kelva partly visible.
