Liquid gold in glass form — this vintage carnival glass footed bowl radiates with the warm, honeyed iridescence that made marigold the most iconic color in the carnival glass canon. The wide, shallow bowl sits atop a small ringed foot, its smooth interior shimmering with concentric rings of amber, cream, and deep copper that shift and glow depending on the light. Flip it over and the exterior glows with the same rich marigold luster, with a green felt pad protecting the foot.
Carnival glass — pressed glass with a metallic iridescent finish applied before firing — was produced in enormous quantities by American glassmakers from roughly 1908 through the 1930s, with marigold being the most widely produced and beloved colorway. This smooth, unpattern bowl form is a classic example of the era: understated, elegant, and endlessly versatile as a display piece.
Stunning on a mantle, shelf, or dining table — especially in warm or raking light where the iridescence truly comes alive.
