Art Deco Glass Console Set in Charleton Rose by Cambridge

Cambridge Art Deco glass console set decorated with Charleton Rose decor.

Emerald green (Cambridge calls the color ‘Late Dark Emerald’) Art Deco glass in excellent condition.  Hand-painted enamel rose decor in near perfect condition. Circa late 1920’s – 1930’s. Very Rare.

The large bowl is Cambridge catalog part number #3400, 4-toed. The 4-toed version is very rare. The bowl ruffles are hand formed and in a flared Deco style that is not cataloged. The “ruffles” are usually soft and uniform (like the comport ruffles for example). The bowl has a distinct Art Deco ruffle design, a personal touch of the maker.

The comport form is 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. The comports are both hand decorated with Charleton Roses.

Charleton Rose was a desirable collectible decor. The enamel decoration was applied by a company called “Charleton”. Many of the old glass 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 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.
