I have just dug out my Mums dish with the same design, beautiful shine to the iridescent. It's a smaller dish with the eagle claw and ball feet, it's green and the butterfly in the middle has the very same line that yours has, its not a scratch, definitely a mark the glass has made. So interesting to see this, thank you.
I have one that's similar to yours. It's blue, with more berry detail, no feet, no butterflies. It was purchased by my grandmother. Mine has a twisted metal handle. I'd never sell it, but curious about it's value.
Its a straw mark. When they would remove the glass from the mold they sould throw it into a pile of straw. I may be wrong but i dont think so...my mom and dad were antique dealers for 35 years. And my moms favorite was the cobalt blue. She had the whole set.
Sorry Helen you are wrong. A straw mark on carnival glass is actually a shear mark caused by the relatively cool shears used to cut the molten glass as it was poured into the mold. Nothing to do with actual straw.
I really think rachelcaresasmr supplied a great point here guys. P is certainly the most important thing to keep in mind when collecting this stuff! I'm glad we could have such a wonderful source of knowledge grace us!
Ya a factory defeat. But funny I have a blue set that was my great grandma’s.Don’t know what year it was. But it only survive do to my mom because r double cousin was selling everything of their grandma’s after she had passed away for drugs.

mostly glass collectors. The orange ones are called Marigold and are the most common and least when comes to value. Look for iridescent purple, Red and Blue.
