<p>[QUOTE="ascot, post: 611357, member: 96"]I'm at little late to this post, but just want to say that your piece is a nice example of C.F. Monroe's Wave Crest wares. The color may be a dark cobalt blue, and similar pieces were also done in dark green. The forget-me-not flowers are used on a number of Wave Crest pieces. The ormolu mounts were common on Wave Crest wares and were likely made by the Meriden Britannia Co. which was located on one floor of the C.F. Monroe building in Meriden, CT. In 1903, the C.F. Monroe company also produced a line of Rich Cut Glass (American Brilliant) and there are some very nice examples around. </p><p>A few years ago, Wave Crest was commanding very high prices, but the market - along with much pottery and glass - has gone down.</p><p>I have my great grandmother's Wave Crest dresser set and just love it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
