Superb Early Scottish Monart Glass Bowl

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Carse Antiques
Description

Superb & Rare early Scottish art glass Monart bowl. Wonderful design and colours. Both bubble glass and multi coloured glass design. Perfect condition. From a private collection of Scottish glass.

SIZE; 12" diameter by 3 1/2" high

CIRCA; 1925

Monart glass was all started by Salvador Ysart and Isabel Moncrieff and Ysart's three sons in the early 1920's in Perth Scotland. The three brothers; Vincent, Augustine and Salvador then split up from their father and formed Vasart Glass (originally named Ysart Brothers) in 1947. The two firms then both produced similar style of glass simultaneously for a period before Vasart glass became Strathearn Glass in 1965. We can only put early pieces of Monart glass on here because of the dateline of 1930 for glass on Sellingantiques. For the full range of Monart, Vasart and Strathearn glass please visit our own website.

This early Scottish Monart glass bowl dates from the 1920 period and follows an Art Deco style. Hand-blown from glass with enamel inclusions, the piece has a mottled dark surface overlaid with vibrant green and orange enamel swirls, bubble inclusions, and a flared rim. The bowl measures 9 cm high by 30.5 cm wide and 30.5 cm deep. Created during the early years of Monart glass production in Perth, Scotland, the vessel shows a circular shallow shape and a textured bubble finish. Collectors use decorative bowls of this type to add colour to a sideboard top or display shelf in a modern interior setting.

Monart glass was created in Perth, Scotland, beginning in the 1920s by John Moncrieff Ltd in collaboration with Spanish glassmaker Salvador Ysart and his family. The glassware is characterised by its distinctive Art Deco shapes, vibrant colour combinations, and mottled enamel inclusions.

This type of art glass was crafted using hand-blowing techniques where layers of molten glass were combined with coloured enamels, powders, and mica flakes. The design was built up in layers before being encased in clear glass and shaped into vessels or decorative bowls.

Authentic Monart pieces typically feature characteristic polished pontil marks on the base, specific shape codes, and distinctive swirl or mottled enamel patterns. Original paper labels were often attached to the base, though many have worn away over time.

A decorative art glass bowl functions well as a focal point on a sideboard, coffee table, or entry console. Pairing glass vessels with natural wood or metallic surfaces allows light to pass through the material and highlights the internal colour variations.

Hand-blown glass should be washed gently by hand in lukewarm water using a mild detergent, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasives, or dishwashers. Dry thoroughly with a soft microfibre cloth to prevent water spots and protect the surface finish.
