Charleton Rose Cambridge Glass rare console bowl set

Cambridge art glass console set decorated in "Charleton Roses".

Emerald green (Late Dark Emerald) glass in excellent condition, decor in near perfect condition. Circa late 1920s - 1930s. Very Rare. The large bowl is Cambridge #3400, 4-toed. The 4-toed version is rare. The bowl ruffles are hand formed and in a style that is uncataloged.  The "ruffles" are usually soft and uniform (like the comport ruffles for example).  The bowl has a distinct "Art Deco" ruffle design.  The comports are in the "Corinth" pattern, Cambridge part no. 3900-136. The stem design looks like artichoke leaves. The color is scarce and the decor style is rare. "Charleton Roses" decor is hand-painted enamel.  The decoration was done by a company called "Charleton", many of the old maker's used this decorating company.  It is not often seen in such great condition due to age. All three items are gold trimmed.  The gold is at 98%.  Small unnoticeable rubs for the most part.  In image 6, the compote shows about 1/2" gold trim missing - this is the only noticeable gold miss.  The compote bases were lined with 2 thin circles of gold, which have worn some. The decor shows little wear. 99% of enamel is intact. A few of the little dots (shown in image 6) are rubbed down. The encircled gold leaves show some wear (very little). It is very difficult to detect any wear on the enamel. Large bowl measures 14.5" across at widest.  Compotes measure 5.5" tall and 5.5" at widest. All were made with a 4-part mold, no seams. Bowl was hand flared. Overall wonderful condition and stunning find. Click to learn more about  Cambridge Glass Click on images below to enlarge - Use back arrow to return to this page.
