Product Details

Wonderful antique marigold carnival glass nut bowl featuring a detailed basketweave pattern and eye-catching open lace edge rim. What makes this piece special is the embossed advertising in the center: “John M. Brand Co. Furniture, Wilmington, Del.” These types of pieces were often used as promotional giveaways by early 20th-century businesses, making them especially desirable to both carnival glass collectors and advertising collectors.
