I used to own a Cambridge Crown Tuscan Compote with the sea shell bowl and the nude statuesque lady stem. I’ve recently bought cocktail glasses, and I am excited to see them arrive.
The stand of this piece is chromium. It was made by Farbers Bros. of New York, between 1939-1955. The stem closely resembles the work of Cambridge and its statuesque line. Farber Bros’ chrome line was called Krome-Kraft. A key feature of the Krome-Kraft line was the patented snap-in/snap-off feature of the inserts. They all come out. I am guessing htis was to clean the glass without getting the chrome wet all the time.
The glass insert was made by Cambridge Glass Company of Cambridge, Ohio.
I don’t know anything about Art Deco, but this reminds me of a piece of that design (don’t really know why).
Interesting piece.
i have this piece and we are looking to sell it but im trying to find a price range of its current value. 2 years ago i found someone selling it for around $100 but can no longer find a current market pricing. would you have any ideas of it possible value?
Hi -Go to ebay. Type the words Farber nude in the search bar. A number of these pieces will pop up. The value will vary obviously according to condition and also colour. Good luck. cheers. d.b.
I have this piece. I remember when my mom bought it in an “antique” store in the 1950s.
It has such a pretty colour doesn’t it? This particular piece now lives in Australia. Thanks for sharing. cheers. d.b.
