An exquisite Wavecrest Egg Crate Cigar Humidor, crafted by the renowned C.F. Monroe Company of Meriden, Connecticut that is a true example of late 19th to early 20th-century American glass artistry. Produced between 1886 and 1916, the humidor features the signature "egg crate" or scroll-molded form, made from fine opal glass—often referred to as Wave Crest glass.
The hinged lid is secured with a brass collar and latch, while the exterior boasts hand-painted enamel floral motifs and delicate filigree. The word “Cigars” is elegantly gilded on the front, marking its intended function as a refined storage solution to preserve the freshness and flavor of cigars.
A collector’s treasure, this piece combines utility with beauty, reflecting the craftsmanship and design sensibilities of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Perfect for antique glass collectors, cigar aficionados, or those seeking a unique decorative accent with historical charm.
