Cambridge Nude Black Stem 2Ain’t this sweet?  I like the looks of these Cambridge pieces.  I used to have a Crown Tuscan Seashell Compote and have looked at others.

I bought a few others with different colour bowls, but they haven’t arrived yet.

The following information is from the book – Colors in Cambridge Glass II by National Cambridge Collectors, Inc.: Cambridge Nude Black Stem 1

“Also known as the 3011 line, Lady Figure Line and “The Cambridge Nudes,” this line, or at least parts of it, was produced from 1931 until the second company ceased operations.” My note – I think this was in 1958.

The pieces were made in a number of different shapes and and in a wide variety of colours.  Some Cambridge Nude Black Stem 3of the pieces are quit expensive, so if you have any in your attic, take care of them!

This is a very interesting article, with lots of gorgeous photos – Cambridge 3011 Statuesque Nude Stems.

Cambridge Statuesque Farberware Compote (2)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.
