The glass appearance is different than anything else. It was pressed and iridized to give it a distinct shine. The look can range from something resembling a rainbow to that of an oil spot and beyond. Beautiful to some, gaudy to others, Carnival Glass comes in an array of base colors with the rainbow effect. Its very easy to distinguish from other types of glass due to its somewhat funky iridescent shine.

Carnival Glass Colors

Written by Old Fenton on 13 June 2008

This glass is made in many translucent colors like primarily amethyst, marigold, cobalt, green, and red. It is also made in opaque white, which is referred to as milk glass. Before the hazards of radiation were well known, the glass was also made in semi-transparent or translucent pale green and was named as Vaseline or uranium glass. Vaseline glass and uranium glass contain traces of uranium salts in the glass which can make a faint green glass glow in reaction to UV light.

Identifying Carnival Glass

Written by Old Fenton on 12 June 2008

Identification of carnival glass is very difficult task. Most of the manufacturers did not include a maker s mark in their product, while the others did so only for part of the time they produced the glass. To identify this glass, one has to match patterns, colors, sheen, edges, thickness, and other factors from old manufacturer s trade catalogs, other known examples, or other reference material. Since many manufacturers produced close copies of their rivals popular patterns, identifying it is a challenge even for an expert.
