Description

A striking four-piece set of vintage American carnival glass, featuring a covered butter dish, a footed sugar bowl, and two footed creamers. This iridescent pressed glass set, likely dating from the early 20th century, showcases the vibrant marigold hue characteristic of the era, with intricate patterns adorning each piece. Key Details: * Origin/Era: Early 20th Century (c.1910s-1920s) * Material: Iridescent Pressed Glass * Style: Carnival Glass * Pattern: Likely "Feather" or similar early American pressed glass designs Condition: Overall good vintage condition with minor surface wear consistent with age and use. No visible chips, cracks, or significant loss of iridescence. Interesting fact: * Carnival glass was originally known as 'poor man's Tiffany' due to its iridescence mimicking the more expensive Favrile glass by Tiffany & Co. * The iridescence is achieved by spraying metallic salts onto the glass while it is still hot, creating a shimmering, oil-slick effect. Use: An ideal collector's item for enthusiasts of vintage American pressed glass or as a decorative accent in a traditional or eclectic home setting.
