Has been kept in a curio for display only. Comes from a well-kept, non-smoking home. The C.F. Monroe Company was founded in 1880 by Charles F. Monroe, a glass decorator. His new company, which quickly grew to fill many buildings in downtown Meriden, specialized in the decoration of milky white Opal Ware glass and the making of Opal Ware objects. C.F. Monroe did not make their own Opal Ware glass, but rather ordered blank pieces which they treated and then decorated. The C.F. Monroe Company was a major employer of artists, who painted wares for the company. The company reached its zenith between 1890 and 1910, and went out of business in 1916.
