The C. F. Monroe Co.
The C.F. Monroe Co. operated a glass manufacturing and decorating factory from 1880 to 1916 in Meridian, Connecticut. Its three primary products were “Wave Crest”, “Nakara” and “Kelva” decorated art glass wares. These wares are very similar in form and decoration and are distinguished most easily by their associated marks. Monroe imported glass blanks from France and purchased others from the Pairpoint glass company for decoration with satin and brightly colored opal enamels by their own decorators.
