Caprice

Caprice is a pattern manufactured by the Cambridge Glass Company from the 1940’s to 1957. Caprice was made in several colors, but crystal is the most easily obtained, and there is a lot of moonlight blue out there as well, but because it is the most sought after color it will likely bring the highest prices. Another available color is alpine caprice, in moonlight blue but with satinized panels or bases. I have heard of some crystal out there as well. While alpine Caprice is gaining popularity, but is not as collectible as those pieces without the satinized panels.

Some of the caprice molds are owned by Summit Art Glass, and there are some newer items out in the marketplace. They include ashtrays, 5″ 2 handled jelley bowl, 8″ 3 part relish, 11″ 2 handled oval bowl, 11″, 12″ 4 part and 3 part relishes, the bridge set; butter dish, creamers, mayonnaise sets, oil bottles, 9-1/2″ dinner plate, some of the stems and tumblers, flat salt & pepper and salad dressing set.

CAMBRIDGE ELEGANT GLASS ROSE POINT

CAMBRIDGE ELEGANT GLASS ROSE POINT PATTERN

Cambridge Rose Point pattern is probably the most popular of all of the Cambridge Elegant Glass patterns. Produced from 1936 to 1953.

If you are a beginning collector of Rose Point, the good news is that this lovely elegant glass pattern has not be reproduced. There are a few things to note about this pattern though. It was produced on several Cambridge numbered blanks including the lines 3500, 3400 and 3900. There are several other blanks as well and you will want to familiarize yourself with them.

When I first came across Rose Point many years ago…. Let me begin again…When I first came across what I thought was Rose Point, I was elated …but not for long. It turned out that I had purchased several Cherokee Rose tumblers made by Tiffin Glass Company. It is a lovely pattern to be sure, but this novice mistook it for Rose Point. There are several other patterns that look very similar and made by other glass companies. They have a medallion as the central theme of the pattern and flowers and vines all around. When looking at a piece of Rose Point, you will want to look for that medallion containing 2 open flowers. The medallion is surrounded by vines, open roses and rosebuds. Trailing at the bottom of the medallion are several bell flowers.

Happy hunting for that wonderful Rose Point, from one who is now older and wiser.
