This 3 1-4"H x 5"W dresser box has a handpainted Venetian scene on the lid, with a leafy green garland & raised white dots around front bottom. The boxes were silk lined, only the frayed peach silk top portion remains on this one. The opal ware glass is by Wave Crest, a division of the CF Monroe Co (1892-1916) of Meriden CT
Nov 15th was my father's birthday, and since I had posted a Monroe box for my mom's BD in May, I thought this would complement it. Dad was a radioman in the US Navy during Korea, and upon his passing we received a Veterans Affairs certificate signed by then president Obama which I'm sure is standard for most veterans families. There is also a small photo of my parents with me on my christening day beside the stamped Wave Crest underside
Beautiful Wave Crest !!! I never know if it is one word or two words as so many people use both ways of spelling. Great story on your Dad and the picture of you all. Thanks for sharing !!
My Wave Crest was getting lonely here on CW - as there are not that many posted, which surprises me
