VINTAGE CAMBRIDGE GLASS
CLEAR # 3500 STEM 1 OZ. CORDIAL ADONIS CUTTING
For
the cordial collector, we have an elegant glass cordial made by the Cambridge
Glass Company formerly of Cambridge, Ohio.
The stem is from their # 3500 stemware line and is the 1-ounce cordial. It is made with a clear colored glass (Cambridge
Glass called this color “Crystal”) and it has a wide optic pattern in the bowl
and is decorated with the “Adonis” cutting pattern. The 1985 book Cambridge Stemware by Mark Nye pictures and describes this
stemware line on
pages 123 & 124. The author writes that this stemware line was
produced from
1933 to 1958. This piece has been in my
personal collection since 2002. This is
a high quality piece of hand-made glass with a blown bowl, a pressed stem, and
a cast foot that were then attached together while hot. Please be sure to read the “AGE AND
CONDITION” and “APPROXIMATE SIZE” paragraphs below.
There
is one of these same stems, in this same color, with the same “Adonis” cutting,
pictured on page 61 in the 1997 book Stemware
Identification: Featuring Cordials with Values 1920s – 1960s by Gene
Florence.
The
“Adonis” cutting, on this same stem, is pictured on
pages 136-139 (page # at the top of the page) of the 1949-1953 Cambridge Catalog
Reprint Book The Cambridge Glass Co.

It
is in excellent to mint original condition.
Please look closely at the photos as they are an important part of my
description of this item. There are no
chips, flea bites, scratches, repairs, hairlines, cracks, or any other visible
signs of wear. Please keep in mind these
photos may be blown up at least 8-10 times normal, so anything you see will
look 8-10 times larger in the photos than it really is.
Please
note: if you see a dark spot in the photos, it is from my camera and is not a
mark on the piece. It will be either
just to the right of center towards the bottom or slightly above center on the
right side of the photo.
