Welcome to

This listing is for a FABULOUS and RARE Mt. Washington CROWN MILANO Art Glass mushroom shaped flower holder or sugar shaker.
Measures 3" high with a maximum width of 5 1/4" and base diameter of 3 5/8".
This stunning flower holder has a matte finish with pastel enameled floral design on a creamy white background shading to a golden amber color at base.
The piece is in excellent condition with no major chips, cracks or repairs.  There is one small nick on one of the holes on the top (see photos) no other noted flaws.
Originally called "Albertine", the patent for this Art Glass was issued in 1893.  The name was later changed in the Mt. Washington factory records to "Crown Milano".  The early examples of this glass originally had a paper label with some of the later pieces marked with the "C M" monogram.  Although unmarked, this lovely piece is unquestionably Crown Milano glass and is a fabulous example of this RARE and collectible Art Glass.
