Stunning Antique Am. C. F. Monroe Kelva Sage Green Hand Painted Glass Vase Circa 1900-1920

Sage Green body and hand painted pink and white poppy floral vase. Nice large size at 13.5" Unsigned..."a few words should be given to the ‘problem’ of signatures. While many of Monroe’s most commercial pieces were signed, a large number of the finest pieces, especially in the Wave Crest line were not signed. (they may have had paper labels). These unsigned beauties have far greater aesthetic worth and eventually will have a far greater value than the simple, signed pieces. I have often seen collectors leave a beautiful piece because it was unsigned. In my opinion, the signature is totally unnecessary in 99.9% of C.F. Monroe glass, and does not make the piece worth more or less. The glass and decoration are usually so distinctive, to even the early collector, that it can easily be recognized as a piece of C.F. Monroe. For those who are unsure, I can only say, as in all fields of collecting, get to know your subject."
