Item Description
This vintage marigold (close to pumpkin) satin iridescent 9.5" bowl boasts a wavy ruffle edge that is fluid and graceful. The rim of this shallow "bowl" is two inches from the base; some may call it a plate. The entire exterior surface of the bowl is graced with the pattern of leaves and what looks like sprays of wheat in low relief. It does not appear to have iridescence to the underside. There is no interior pattern but the inside color is strong and has great iridescence. There are a few small scratches to the finish on the inside of the bowl which doesn't affect its beauty when displayed; maker is unknown. There is a production or tool mark on the inside. It appears to be hand-pressed. Since its initial creation, carnival glass has been very popular with glassware enthusiasts. Carnival Glass is pressed glass that has had an iridescent coating applied. What is iridization? The metallic spray gave the glass a multi-color look with a finish that resembles oil on water. It is this characteristic that distinguishes it from other glass. There are other types of glass, however, that are iridized, primarily art glass. Remember though, that if it isn't iridized, it isn't Carnival!
