Vintage Jeanette Carnival Glass Anniversary Marigold‎ Three - Footed Bowl

Carnival glass emerged in the early 1900s as an affordable alternative to expensive Tiffany iridescent glass. American manufacturers like Jeannette Glass Company, Fenton, and Northwood produced these colorful pressed glass pieces with an iridescent finish, making them accessible to middle-class households. The marigold color, achieved through metallic salts sprayed on hot glass, became one of the most popular and widely produced carnival glass colors during the 1920s-1930s.  Carnival glass remains highly collectible among vintage glassware enthusiasts and Depression-era glass collectors. These pieces appeal to collectors for their beautiful iridescent sheen, nostalgic connection to early 20th-century American life, and affordable entry point into antique glass collecting. The ribbed sunburst pattern and footed design make such dishes particularly desirable as decorative display pieces or functional candy dishes in vintage-inspired home décor.
