Clare, yes, this is Fenton's Peacock and Dahlia. Amethyst is supposed to be a scarce color for this pattern, but your bowl appears to have an undesirable silvery iridescence as opposed to the much more desirable multi-colored iridescence. This will affect the value, since carnival glass is very much about color and quality of the iridescence.
Hi Paul,
Thanks for you help. Do you have any idea of a price, because i do not have a clue??
Many Thanks
No, I do not. Perhaps Shawn will chime in, I believe he buys and sells carnival a lot.
