Ruba Rombic
Designed in 1927 by Reuben Haley for the Consolidated Lamp and Glass company, Ruba Rombic is an icon of the Art Deco movement. It’s production was very short due to the Great Depression that soon followed it’s release. As it’s name implies it’s unusual look consists of irregular geometric shapes. It has been estimated that only several thousand pieces survive today. It’s extremely high prices accurately reflect it’s rarity. It is now being bought up by major museums and high end Art Deco collectors. Today Ruba Rombic is probably the most expensive elegant glass pattern there is.
It came in a few color “styles” Smokey Topaz, Jungle Greem, and Sunshine Yellow. Cased colors of white applied to the inside of the glass as well as a French (silver) crystal over glaze.
Reuben Haley also designed a pottery line in the Ruba Rombic style. The Muncie Pottery Company produced it in 1929.
