Key Details: * Origin/Era: Early 20th Century * Material: Iridescent Pressed Glass (Carnival Glass) * Style: Art Nouveau / Edwardian with basketweave, fruit, and floral patterns * This lot includes a handled berry bowl with a basketweave and fruit pattern, a lidded sugar jar, a lidded jar with a floral pattern, and a small footed bowl with a grape pattern.

Interesting fact: * Carnival glass, popular from around 1908 to the 1920s, gained its name because it was often given away as prizes at carnivals and fairs. * The iridescent finish is created by spraying metallic salts onto the glass while it is still hot, giving it a distinctive shimmering effect. Use: Ideal for collectors of antique glassware or as decorative accent pieces in a vintage-inspired home.
