Description: Shipping with Insurance by USPS Priority Mail, or UPS or FedEx, whichever is cheaper and faster. Up for auction is a VINTAGE CAMBRIDGE CHANTILLY 3 PART # 3900/125 12 INCH RELISH & CELERY BOWL 4 TOED 2 HANDLED CELERY & RELISH TRAY IN PERFECT CONDITION. It is acid etched in the gorgeously designed "Chantilly" Pattern, and although this etched pattern was made from 1935 to the 1954, making this piece somewhere between 68 and 87 years old. For its age, I would say that this bowl is almost in "mint" condition, because the only scratches are on the bottom of the 4 feet, where scratches are expected to be found, commensurate with its age. This glass comes from a bye-gone era when American manufacturing was an "art", as can be seen from the gorgeously designed delicate floral sprays with lacy scrolling between each. Even all of the 14 gorgeous designed top edged tips and the two beautiful handles are completely intact. It probably took at least 8-10 people to create this one glass, from mixing and heating up the sand and other ingredients to the proper temperature, to pressing the glass mixture into the mold, and then slowly cooling it so it won't crack under use at home, and then adding a waxy resist doily before dunking into the hot acid etch, then finally rinsing off the wax coating with hot water, after polishing the glass to make sure it is completely clean, to make sure it lasts for many years of use. I only wish I had more, because it is so gorgeous. When used on a set dining room table for entertainment, this serving piece must have looked really graceful on the table. It measures about 10 inches across its length (12 inches from handle to handle), 7 1/2 inches wide, and about 2 inches high, as can be seen in the photographs. It is absolutely beautiful and was purchased from an old estate sale on Long Island. Although it was pre-owned, it is in almost perfect condition, as seen in the photographs. I found it inside a closed dining room cabinet where it apparently sat on a shelf for many years, and was hardly used, because there no scratches anywhere, except on the bottom of those 4 gorgeous tiny "toes" as feet were called back in the 1930's, as would be expected from an object this old.
