Carnival glass was a cheap, iridescent glass often given away as promotions at carnivals, movies, and grocery stores in the early 20th Century (its heyday being roughly 1907-1925). It was produced in over 60 colors (including the best known, an orange-ish marigold), by well-known manufacturers such as Northwood, Fenton, Imperial, Millersberg, Dugan-Diamond, and others.
Carnival glass is essentially patterned glass that has been press-molded and sprayed with metallic solutions to produce an iridescent effect. The glass was pressed with a mechanical process, but then subsequently hand-fashioned into final shapes by craftsmen. Consequently, most pieces have their own unique characteristics...
Carnival Glass was originally sold for a few cents per piece (or given away), and advertised with names like "Pompeiian Iridescent," "Venetian Art," and "Mexican Aurora." It later spread around the world and has been called names ranging from "Nancy glass" to "Baking Powder glass" to "Poor Man's Tiffany."
