This glossy set of Cambridge ebony glass shakers no. 395 ads a touch of elegance to any dining table, especially one with art deco vibes.
The highly reflective black glass have fluted "faceted" sides and base creating a bit of sparkle and drama. The cylinders have an elegant tapered body and footed base. I believe Cambridge referred to these as a colonial shape. The screw on gilded metal caps are plated in gold. Because the ebony glass has a shiny mirror finish, you will see reflections of other colors in the black areas of the pictures, but they are only black in real life.
The bottom of the shakers have a molded PAT NO 73707
According to Colors in Cambridge Glass the 1922 Ebony "is a sparkling black of very high density that will show deep amethyst, red or shades of brown when held to a strong light." The ebony color was only popular during the 1920's and 30's. with production dropping off after that.
