The Glass of C.F. Monroe: Wave Crest, Nakara, Kelva

The C.F. Monroe Glass Company was in business from 1880 to 1916. They were a decorating company. They purchased undecorated blanks from France and  American glass companies such as Mt. Washington. The glass they decorated on was opal glass, a creamy white color. They called their decorated ware

The glass may or may not be signed. The metal fittings on the glass may or may not be marked. If the metal is marked it would be with the letters CFM Co.They also decorated cut glass blanks.
