Description: Welcome to Antiques & Moore! This listing is for one of the nicest Wave Crest Art Glass dresser boxes you will find. Made in the Helmschmeid Swirl mold by the C. F. Monroe Co., c. 1890-1910, the box features a soft pale blue and white background with a beautifully enameled floral design in shades of pink and violet outlined in lavender iridescent enamel often called "Tiffany" iridescent. The flowers have white highlights and golden jeweled stamens. Within the pale blue washed background on each side of the box are slightly darker blue "clouds" with gilt highlights. The top and base have brass collars with a tight hinge and the box opens and closes correctly. Measures 6" in diameter and 4 1/2" high. Weighs 2 pounds. This lovely box is in excellent Estate condition with no noted flaws although there are faint signs of wear on the brass collars commensurate with age and normal wear. Also note that the top and bottom collar have a slight warp and do not meet perfectly at the closure. Although we believe this can be corrected, we will leave that to the new owner. The box is unmarked which is not unusual on Wave Crest pieces, however we do guarantee this box to be Wave Crest as described. Wave Crest glass was produced as an opal glass blank and was then hand decorated. Originally called "Opal Ware", this glass was at the height of its popularity from 1890 to 1910. Much of the opal glass known as Wave Crest was produced by the Mt. Washington Glass Co. and was purchased by the C. F. Monroe Co. as undecorated glass blanks to be decorated by their artists. We at Antiques & Moore have been in the Antiques business for over 30 years and try to describe our items as accurately as possible.
