Carnival Glass is pressed glass that has had an iridescentcoating applied. Remember, if it isn\'t iridized, it isn\'t Carnival.

Pressed glass? This is glass that has been formed by beingpressed into a mold while in a hot molten form. As it cools, it takes on theshape and detail of the mold. Once removed from the mold, and while stillrelatively hot, it is sprayed with metallic salts in liquid form which gives itthe \"oil-on-water\" multicolor appearance.

Carnival Glass was first produced by Fenton in 1907 and wasmade continuously until 2011. There were 5 or 6 major makers of it originally,but Fenton lasted longer than any of the others.

There are about 2,000 different patterns in Carnival Glass,many of which are similar, leading to much confusion.

Colors can also be confusing. The most common is marigold.This color is always found on clear glass, but other colors are defined by thecolor of the glass, not the iridescent coating.
