Description

A charming vintage collection of five pieces of marigold iridescent Carnival Glass, showcasing the distinctive shimmering finish and embossed patterns popular in the early 20th century. This set includes a large serving platter, two tumblers, a small vase, and an oval handled dish. Key Details: * Origin/Era: Early to Mid-20th Century * Material: Iridescent Glass (Carnival Glass) * Style: Art Nouveau / Depression Era * Colour: Marigold/Amber Condition: The set is in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or significant surface wear visible across any of the pieces. The iridescence remains vibrant. Interesting fact: * Carnival glass was originally produced as an inexpensive alternative to the more costly iridescent art glass of makers like Tiffany. Its vibrant, oil-slick-like sheen was achieved by spraying heated glass with metallic salts. * The technique was pioneered by Fenton Art Glass in the early 1900s, and its affordability made it widely popular during the Depression era. Use: Perfect for display in a vintage-inspired home, for collectors of Depression-era glassware, or for serving at special occasions.
