Champagne / Tall Sherbet, Monongah, Roseland, Antique Blown Glass, Set of 4

• Pattern: Antique Champagne Coupes, Roseland by Monongah
• Made in Fairmont, WV, USA
• Antique: 1915 - 1927
• Description:  This is an extraordinarily beautiful set of 4 Monongah champagne coupe glasses, also used as tall sherbet and dessert glasses.  The pattern was originally called "Deep Etch" #800, later changed to "Roseland".   It is a very elegant pattern, a band of flowers with double wreaths that encircles the bowl of each piece.  Within the band of flowers there are four ribbon streamers that flow down into the wreaths and form arrows at the end of the streamers.  This pattern is absolutely Art Deco in style.  The catalog from 1916 describes them as blown glass, needle etched, sand blast decorated.  A lot of work went into this glassware and it shows.  They are perfect for champagne of course, but can also be used for serving sherbet, ice cream,  pudding and other drinks and desserts.  Absolutely wonderful!

Although we've seen this pattern listed as being from the 1920's, Dean Six, the Executive Director of the Museum of American Glass located in Weston, WV, wrote an article in "The Daze" in March, 1996 which included reprints of the Monongah catalog pages from 1916 showing this pattern and Mr. Six stated "...this pattern was introduced as early as 1915."

Monongah Glass Company started in August 1904 in Fairmont, West Virginia.  As they grew, they acquired other glass factories in the same city, having at least three separate factories at one time.   They were very large producers of glass, in 1908, Monongah made 12,000 dozen glass pieces every 24 hours.  Monongah Glass Company was acquired by Lancaster Glass in 1927.  Collin (Isaac J. Collins), Hocking Glass Company bought Monongah in the early 1930's and Monongah ceased to exist as a company. The Fairmont plant was closed circa 1933.
