JLS COLLECTABLES AND GIFTS AUCTIVA STORE

 CARNIVAL GLASS IS A TYPE OF GLASS MADE FROM  A HIGHLY COLLECTABLE PRESSED GLASS AND COMES IN A VARIETY OF IRIDESCENT COLOURS.

 ITS POPULARITY WAS  AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY. THE COLOURS COME FROM  APPLIED SALTS ADDED TO THE GLASS AS IT COOLS FROM INITIAL PRESSING. AFTER THE SALTS ARE ADDED IT IS FIRED AGAIN . TO OBTAIN THESE UNIQUE COLOURS. THE FIRST GLASSWARE MADE WAS NOT FOR THE  FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC BUT FOR THE WEALTHIER PEOPLE.

 SOME OF THESE PIECES HAVE TRULY AMAZING COLOURS & TEXTURES TO THEM & ARE WELL WORTH PURSUING AS A COLLECTOR. THERE ARE TOO MANY PATTERNS TO LIST HERE &  PRICE RANGES CAN VARY IN MANY DIFFERENT AMOUNTS.  SOME MAKERS FOUND OR RESEARCHED  WOULD BE NORTHWOOD & FENTON JUST TO NAME A FEW.

I WILL BE RESEARCHING & CREATING MORE ARTICLES  & GIVING INFO ON FUTURE ARTICLES.

 THANKS FOR BROWSING
