Rare Antique WAVE CREST Playing Card Holder C. F. Monroe

Description

Aloha,
Welcome everyone! Up for your consideration today is
a lovely Wave Crest Art Glass playing card holder made by the C. F. Monroe Co. It has hand painted enameled floral decoration. Dated around 1900. This unusual item has a brass band around the top edge with beaded decoration and a silk cloth inside which is still in good shape, no tears or rips. The glass body is decorated with a molded design on each side with hand painted pink flowers with a pale yellow/green tint. The glass has the original Wave Crest stamp on the bottom and original paper label. You can see a similar playing card holder on page 74 of the book "Wave Crest: The Glass of C.F. Monroe" by Wilfred R. Cohen. Approximately
2 1/2" high, 4 1/8" long and 1 3/8" wide
This piece would make a wonderful gift for a special person or would be a great addition to a private collection.
