Companhia Fábrica de Vidros e Crystaes do Brasil - the Gallery (Section Two)

 Glass and Crystal Company of Brazil
“ESBERARD”


By Claudio Deveikis

In this paert of the story of Esberard, we explore the wonderful and unique Carnival Glass patterns that they are currently known to have made. Research continues, and no doubt there will be more discoveries in the future!

The patterns are arranged in alphabetical order of the pattern name given to them locally in Brazil. However, some patterns are also known by their English translation, or by other names that they have been given previously, so here is a cross-referenced list of the patterns.

The catalogue images in this pattern Gallery were found in an Esberard catalogue that is likely to be from the 1940s, and are all courtesy of Clóvis Bezerra.

The Gallery is shown in TWO SECTIONS. This page is Section Two.

​As you can see, the underplate (tray) is the same as shown in the Esberard catalogue, but there are some slight differences in the design of the bottle, stopper and cups.

In Brazil these sets are known as “digestive sets” because they were made to serve alcoholic beverages that aid digestion after meals. Each cup holds only 15 ml (one table spoon).

Propeller - so named due to the design of the base, which extends out to the rim, giving the appearance of a three-bladed propeller.

Rio
Rio
This marigold tumbler was the first confirmed Carnival Glass pattern made by Esberard, before the discovery of the other patterns listed here.

Although it is not shown in the c.1940s catalogue in Part Two, the tumbler has ESBERARD RIO moulded into the glass - and the pattern was called Rio.

Rosarinho, aka Little Rosary (catalogue numbers 735, 748 and 792)

This Carnival bowl is not marked, but I have seen an uniridised one in red, and that one had Esberard moulded on the base. So, it is a good assumption that the Carnival version was also made by Esberard (although it is not shown in the c.1940s catalogue).

Teardrop, possibly Esberard and also Guarani.

​It is possible the Teardrop pieces were produced by two different makers in Brazil; initially by Esberard, and then later in the 1950s and 1960s by Guarani.
Teardrop
​The pattern is known by different names according to the region of Brazil it is in: in Minas Gerais it is named as "lagrima" (meaning “tear”) while in Rio de Janeiro it is called "gota" (meaning “drop”). Hence the name I have given to it … Teardrop. The covered comport is also known as “Dona Antônia” in Brazil.
