Product Details

Carnival glass, also known as iridescent glass, was produced from the early 1900s to the 1930s, primarily in the United States. It was often given away as prizes at carnivals and fairs, hence its name. The distinctive shimmering, rainbow-like surface is achieved by spraying the molten glass with metallic salts, which then fuse with the glass during the cooling process. Dugan was one of the prominent manufacturers of carnival glass, operating from 1900 to 1931. Their 'Basket Weave' pattern, often found in marigold, is a popular and recognizable design among collectors. These small baskets were frequently used as decorative items or for holding small trinkets. Early 20th Century
