Rio - Esberard, Brazil
|
This delightful marigold tumbler was the first confirmed Carnival Glass pattern made by the Esberard Glass Company (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).
The tumbler has ESBERARD RIO moulded into the glass - and so the pattern was called Rio by Bob, back in 2006. Here are Bob’s words describing the tumbler. “The marigold coloring is especially nice. Its measurements are; 5” high; 2¾” rim and an indented base 2¼” across which is plain and un-iridised. It was made from a three piece mould. The mould lines have been cleverly incorporated into the main design which is some type of a stylized star flower. From the rim down ⅜ of an inch it is smooth up to a slightly raised line encircling the tumbler. Below this is a zigzag design with dots inside. Under this is three star flowers with stems and a star flower between each with no stems. The entire design is simple yet quite elegant.” |
