Carnival Glass is iridised press-moulded glassware. This highly pattern-detailed and colourful domestic glassware was an inexpensive substitute for the more costly iridised art glass of the Art Nouveau period. Production began in 1905 until it tapered off after WWII during the Art Deco period. There was a revival in the 1960's and the last pieces were produced in the early 1980's. Carnival glass was sold worldwide through mail order, general stores or speciality china outlets, sales promotions and was also offered as prizes through furniture, sweet and biscuit companies. The piece on offer here is a nice and extensively decorated collectable piece made by one of the larger factories in the USA. |
Seen from the bottom. The impressed 'Twins' pattern is on the outside which is also the side of the clear glass.
