Blown glass. Needle etched. Sand blast decorated. That's how the 1916 catalog described them. One hundred years later they still earn every word.
This is a set of four antique blown glass champagne coupes in the Roseland pattern (originally Deep Etch #800) by Monongah Glass Company, Fairmont, West Virginia — catalog-documented to 1915–1916. A band of flowers with double wreaths encircles each bowl; four ribbon streamers flow down into the wreaths and form arrows at their ends. Pure Art Deco, executed in three techniques: blown glass, needle etching, sand blast decoration. Antique condition throughout. One set available.
The pattern's history was definitively established by Dean Six, Executive Director of the Museum of American Glass, Weston, WV, who reprinted the original Monongah catalog pages in "The Daze" (March 1996) and confirmed the pattern was introduced as early as 1915. That places these glasses at over a century old — and they carry their age with complete elegance.
Monongah Glass Company was founded in Fairmont, West Virginia in August 1904 and grew into one of the most productive glass manufacturers in the country — at their peak in 1908 they were producing 12,000 dozen glass pieces every 24 hours across at least three separate Fairmont factories. Monongah was acquired by Lancaster Glass in 1927, then by Hocking Glass in the early 1930s, and the Fairmont plant closed circa 1933. The Roseland pattern dates to the company's finest years.
Three of the four glasses are in excellent antique condition with no chips, cracks, or cloudiness. One glass has a small chip on the foot/base, photographed and fully disclosed. Suitable for champagne, sparkling wine, sherbet, or ice cream service — the wide, shallow bowl is the original multi-purpose coupe form at its most refined. Hand wash only.
A wonderful set for an antique barware collector, a West Virginia glass enthusiast, an Art Deco table, or anyone who wants genuinely antique stemware with impeccable provenance.
