Collecting 101: Carnival Glass! The History, Popularity, Patterns, Colors and Value! Episode 6 

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

Carnival glass is so beautiful and I really want to start collecting it. Both for the historical value, and because SHINY!!

loved this. more about carnival glass please

I got a blue fruit bowl in 1974 but didn't realize the value and I think I donated while downsizing. Live and learn.. 😉

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 love these vids I learn so much

Carnival glass is a challenging topic I think. Not all irridescent glass is carnival. I love the Northwood pieces you shared.

THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION AND PICTURES. I HAVE ALOT OF CARNIVAL GLASS. JUST LOVE THE BEAUTY. NEVER KNEW THE TRUE VALUES. THANKS AGAIN!!

Oh that jug with the silver top was stunning.So interesting to learn the history of carnival glass.It was hugely popular in New Zealand.

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.

Very helpful video! I have one piece of green carnival, a ribbed swung vase. Picked it at the swap meet, and I love it.

This was wonderful information, I never knew this about carnival glass. Thank you for opening my eyes.

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.

I found a Imperial Chatelaine deep blue/purple carnival glass cup today. It’s quite rare, and stunning.

Thank you for this video! Great info and I appreciate it as I learn!

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.

Thankyou well presented and informative

Great info!! Enjoy these 101 videos. I love carnival glass, I don't collect it, but I think it's beautiful

Great show, is there any way you can do a follow up on the "counterfiet" pieces that flooded the market in the 80's-90's?

carnival glass my beloved

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

Really informative Thankyou

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.

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!

This was very informative. I have been seriously thinking about getting into collecting carnival glass. The iridescent quality and craftsmanship is spectacular!

Learning where the name Carnival Glass came from was really interesting.

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 .

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. 🤗

Back in the 90s my family sold a piece of peach carnival glass for over $3000 on eBay, which bought my first used car 😁

The shop I was in this weekend has so much peach. So much of it.

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.)?

I have 2+ tubs of wrapped Carnival I need to go through. Thanks for the info.

Hi there!!😊 Good episode! I know so little, and you always teach me new and interesting things!! 👍👍👍😊😊 Stay well, all of you! 💓

❤

Loved the episode. Again lots of informative information. Great job! Thank you.

Carnival glass is so beautiful! Thanks for the information! I'm really looking forward to the stamps video!

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😂😂

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.

Thank you, again, for a good presentation! Bye bye!

Love carnival glass, I have red, blue and green punch bowl sets.

Thank you so much for this topic! I learned a lot! Love your videos, very informative and very helpful. Keep up the good work! 👌

Well presented. Impressive!

Thanks for the great information.

Thank you for sharing, very informative

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 friend gave me a bunch of carnival glass to sell, so I appreciated your video. I am going to put the glass on Ebay:).

Can you do a video on Antique china like Noritake the old stuff, the stuff from 1930 to 1979 or older. Please and thank you.

I agree with you about the green and blue.

Awesome Man

Thank you for the info.Like your video.New subscriber.

New subscriber here and thanks for all the great info! Time to binge!

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.

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.

Hi please can you leave the pictures up for much longer? Great content thanks ❤

Thanks for the info Appreciate it It sounds like the dryer was running in the back ground which was distracting.

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.

Great video! I just started collecting :)

Looked up the carnival glass in New Zealand.A company in Sydeny Australia made it with Australian and NZ flora and fauna for a few years..

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.

Glass is kinda my biggest thing, one of my favorite pieces is a red carnival fruit basket

Can you do a video on uranium glass thank you.

Libbey glass gotta to be the best

Great episode was wondering about depression glass please

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?

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...!

My wife and I have a rather large collection of carnival glass, depression glass, Franciscan, Fostoria, etc. Sometimes, I think it's too much. LOL

I have around 850 pieces of 100 year old carnival glass.The large punch bowl looked like Doug Siska's.

Thak you enjoyed watching

Red is my favorite. Hard to find

I have been collecting carnival glass for a couple years now and have 1 piece i cannot seem to figure out who the artist is!

We have some carnival glass, but my wife is really big into Blue Ridge China. Have you done any videos on that?

Hi 😊 Can you tell me anything more about the cake plate at 9:13 in your video? I have one that was my great grandmothers.

What about black Diamond cameo glass?

Does every piece have the name on them ‘cause I have some that I can’t see a name? Thank you.

My gram has a large amethyst vase and bowl.

I have a canister with lid of Amethyst.

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..

Any information on Wheaton presidential bottles? When and where it was made and is it valuable?

Is the amethyst grape basket popular? By WM?

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+

I have a huge Amethyst carnival glass bowl. I think I have it listed way too cheap on ebay. I will have to fix that.

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.

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

Hi, off topic but does anyone collect old salt and pepper shakers anymore?

What about pink? Did I miss comments on that? Thanks...Sorry I was thinking depression glass- as the church lady used to say- Nevermind...😁

What does the black look like on the bottom?

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.

I've got a green carnival glass fruit bowl in the shape of a grape I want to sell it

HOW ARE THE PATTERNS MADE ON THE CARNIVAL GLASS ❓💗❓💗❓

Why not voice over glass. We don't need to see you.😮

You show your pictures way too fast.
