Description

A vibrant collection of six pieces of vintage marigold carnival glass, featuring diverse patterns and forms, emblematic of early 20th-century iridescent pressed glass production. This lot includes various bowls, a footed compote, and a creamer, showcasing typical carnival glass motifs. Key Details: * Origin/Era: Early 20th Century (c. 1910s-1930s) * Material: Iridescent Pressed Glass * Style: Carnival Glass with Art Nouveau and Art Deco influences * Patterns: Grape and leaf motifs, feathered star design, fish and scales motifs, and other geometric and floral elements. Condition: Minor surface wear, light scuffs, and manufacturing imperfections such as mold lines, straw marks, and air bubbles are present, consistent with the age and production method of carnival glass. No significant chips, cracks, or repairs are apparent from the photographic evidence. Interesting fact: * Carnival glass was originally produced as a more affordable alternative to expensive art glass, often given away as prizes at carnivals, hence its name. * The characteristic iridescence of carnival glass is achieved by spraying metallic salts onto the glass while it is still hot, before its final firing. Use: This collection is ideal for enthusiasts and collectors of antique glassware, perfect for decorative display, or as a colourful and historical accent in a vintage-themed interior.
