This is 6' tall 5 inch wide on top came from my wife's grandmother's house in 1970s, she had a ton of antiques. I dont know what you call this Carnival glass maybe? Better color and the rough bottom i too new shot . I shot them Raw files which will get the perfect color
No, not carnival glass. This is called "spatter glass" . It used to be called "End of Day" by early collectors and dealers, thinking that at the end of the day all the left over glass in the various tanks would be thrown together to make things like this. That is an old wives tale; this type of glassware was marketed as its own product.
Nice vase and OLD-- Victorian era.
It is cased-- several layers.
I believe that these colors also fall into the British "Cottage Glass" category.
Is the bottom of it ground smooth or is it a rough texture?
