FOREIGN-MADE CARNIVAL GLASS
SPLIT DIAMOND
Lovely 3½" tall Marigold Carnival Glass Creamer, in excellent undamaged vintage condition, thought to have been produced by Sowerby of England.
Production of Carnival Glass
began outside of the United States
in England, Germany, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Australia, Mexico, Argentina, Finland, The Netherlands, Peru, India and China sometime
during the late 1920s, after its introduction in America in 1907 by the Fenton Art Glass Company. Foreign Carnival Glass is found in far fewer base glass colors over-all than American Carnival, mostly in Marigold, and in lesser quantity as well. Designs and contours have a softer, more rounded appearance and the base or "marie" was often factory-ground.
Excellent Antique Condition
means that a
listed
item has no decernable post-production damage but may have one or more of the following issues related to the production methods and conditions in the early 1900s which, by today's standards were dirty and dangerous, and Quality Control did not exist:  air bubbles not squeezed out by hand-pressing; inclusions of ash from the furnace or debris  from dirty conditions;
strands of undissolved metallic salts used as colorant; lines called
straw marks where molten glass was snipped with cool metal shears from the gathering rod, hardened immediately and mixed into the glass like dried paint; marks from shaping tools used to form the edge or influence the shape; mould issues such as incomplete or malformed edges,
rough seams, extra glass at seams, webbed, incomplete or pulled edge points; cooling issues such as
uneven legs or a bowed base causing rocking; heat checks which are internal separations from uneven cooling or burst air bubbles, etc. While these issues may be undesirable in the extreme, they do not qualify as "damage" and will be found to some degree on nearly all Carnival Glass.
