Another company to keep in mind is Millersburg. It was a short run company and the guy that started it was one of the guys from Fenton. It was only open 4 years, 1908-1911. I have a rare piece of Millersburg
Thank you for this video! My grandmother had a marigold dragon and lotus that as a child, I was fascinated with. When she died, I received it. Sadly it broke in one of the many early-20s moves we all tend to do, but now things are more stable, so lately I have been thinking about starting a collection. This really helps!
Thanks so much. I've never been a fan of this type of glass but today I spied a glint of color in a darkish room of a thrift shop, behind a stack of stoneware plates and pulled out a gorgeous red bowl.
Fenton actually resumed Carnival Glass production in 1971. This is when they introduce the Fenton in oval mark under their glassware to differentiate the new production from the pre-war production. This was because they were using the same molds, the same formulas for color and iridescent, and even some of the same workers.
My mother in law has a lot of carnival glass that i believe was back in the 1970's. Of course it is the marigold grape and vine. My husband and i are downsizing and some of these pieces have not seen the light of day in 30 years because there was/is so much of it and no where to display. thank you for your video. Would like more on the carnival glass and crystal glass as well.
Interesting video. It seems as if carnival glass is making a comeback with collectors. I collect Northwood, and most of my pieces have come from collectors who have recently passed away. Would you consider a future video on animal covered dishes (hen-on-nest, etc.)?
This was very informative. I have been seriously thinking about getting into collecting carnival glass. The iridescent quality and craftsmanship is spectacular!
I’ve got some pieces stored. Now I have to get them out and really look at them. I want to check the patterns. I loved the video you did on Fenton too. 🤗
Blue grape and cable is what I collect. Of course, I have a few sets of the Independence plates too. I should like to find more of the 12 days of Christmas plates
Very interesting and informative video! Seems my first couple pieces are common marigold, but I'll continue to collect, as I'm in love with those iridescent sheens more than the value!
I am getting an education from you, George of the Antique Nomad and Scott of the Old Curiosity Shop. I have a small collection of blue Indiana glass which I believe is from the sixties. I inherited it from my mom and I add to it whenever I can.
Hello....thank you so much for giving such detailed information....always learn so much from you! Look forward to learning more with this awesome series! 😊kim I would also be interested in learning about depression glass!
My mom collected Carnival glass and stored them in an old cabinet in our kitchen . I can remember buying butter dishes and creamers for her for Christmas over the years . The best part is that now any time I see it at yard sales or antique shops I think of her . It does seem strange that many I see today are selling for the same prices I paid in the 70's and 80's .
Great program and programing. I am a former 80-year-old glass collector. Just a few pieces of Tiffany, MUCH Heisey, Lots of Fenton; mostly later but beautiful. All is with my Son and His Wife, who differ greatly as to glass. She likes Cut Glass (only perfect) and He is a Heisey Person. Punch Bowls by Heisey are not scarce, but He has the more collectible. There isa Heisey Chrysanthemum Vase 32" tall- The early catalogue shows it as discontinued and came in heights od 12" to 27". Heisey-Gardner said it was probably a one-off. I like one-offs.
Shape is important if you want a lovely display you need to pay attention and vary the shapes or buy only dishes and vary the color/pattern. My Mom remembers when carnival glass was second rate and passed the attitude on to me. I think the white though is gorgeous and am thinking about adding a bit to my collection of everything. I’m a bit of a magpie and collect anything I like.
I collect carnival glass…it’s so beautiful to see especially as the sun shines through the house during the day. I have a variety of colors and patterns 💞because I can’t commit to 1😂😂
Thanks for so much great info! I have a couple of bowls I believe are carnival glass. One looks like standard amber-y color. The other is a beautiful green, translucent in the center & opaque around the outside. The pattern is two peacocks on a fence. I can't find another like it for comparison. Is it a fake?
When I was a kid in the 1960's I bought some red carnival glass from the hardware store in my tiny town for my mother for Mothers Day. I had save my allowance and got her a butter dish and a sugar and creamer. I don't know what I paid for it but I thought it was so beautiful and I was so proud when I gave it to her. Years later she gave it to my brother and his wife and they have in displayed in a curio cabinet. I don't know what the pattern is because I haven't looked at it in ages. But I know they have taken good care of it. What would some like that go for? The lid on both the butter and sugar bowl are still on both pieces and they are in excellent shape. I'm just curious so I can tell her. My brother passed away a year ago.
@@66uniqueantiques I wish I could. I haven't the first idea how to do that. I'm not very tech savvy. Thanks though. Maybe someone else in the family might be able to do it.
Lots of peach and milk carnival glass in Canada.omg i have come across the black one too. They go for pennies at auctions....the kids just dont want them. Now a days.
I wish I had seen this video a year ago. I gave away the carnival bowl and I also donated to a local thrift store a pair of pink Lady lamps.. Now I know better.
Carnival glass is simply too varied and spanned a production era of a century, with very good quality to rather poor. Overall it's variety and beauty make it a very underrated collectible.
I have an irridescent glass tray that I put a spotlight on when watching TV. The colors morph from right to left, and vice-versa. I've occasionally tried to find a duplicate on-line, but thus far, have had no luck. I paid $99 for it, and since I've never found a duplicate, consider myself lucky. Who really knows how much it's worth?! I'll just have to imagine...!
How can I really tell what color I have, its blue & purple and when I look at the base its a smoky gray blue.. but when I look inside I see more blues & purples.. Its an Imperical Glass crimped 10" bowl. with the base..
@66uniqueantiques the black carvinal glass, thank you so much for your videso:) I am grateful for the knowledge:) Volunteering at a Antique store and trying to learn to price stuff for ebay for my nabor:)
I have a vase and a bowl that I would like to send you a picture of could you maybe tell me what they're worth And I also have two books of stamps from around the world
@@66uniqueantiques Thank you - I believe most of mine is depression glass I just liked pink and started collecting it over 40 years ago. I’m old(er)!!! LOL!! I collect a little bit of everything. Keep up the great videos!!
But we're just passing up Peach Carnival Glass a few seconds to figure out the pattern because there are pieces that are worth tens of thousands of dollars yes they might be few and far between but you don't want to pass up a piece worth a $1000+
The thing I don't understand is how anyone can know how to price an item when eBay has, say Fenton glass, anywhere from hundreds of dollars down to $15.
@@66uniqueantiques The problem comes in when I can't find anything like what I'm wanting to sell. I'll just have to do more research. I'm finding that "googling" the description is a lot better than searching eBay, etc.
@@66uniqueantiques The 2 matching Fenton vases that still have the 1944 purchase price tag of $27/pair, I just googled $27 in today's money and it came up $404! 😲
Also the older Carnival Glass is much more collectible and worth more from my experience don't mistake the carnival class made in the 70s for the older carnival glass. And just because a piece is chipped or broke does not mean it has no value I personally have sold pieces that had cracks and chips for over $100. Also be careful because there is fake Carnival Glass so definitely before jumping in or selling a piece do a little research and make sure your pieces legit before purchasing or selling.
@@66uniqueantiques I do agree to find pieces that are quite valuable with issues is rare and I have sold pieces that were completely broken half for close to $1,000 so they can have larger issues depending on their Rarity.

I'll add it to the list 🙂
