Sold for: £12
A collection of marigold carnival glass tableware comprising multiple pieces of pressed glass with a characteristic iridescent metallic sheen over an orange base. The lot features a large water pitcher and matching tumblers decorated with a repeating geometric hobstar and floral pattern. Also included is a tall swung vase with a ripple rim and a smaller flared vase. The assortment of bowls includes a pedestal comport with a ruffled rim, a bowl featuring a grape and cable motif, and various other decorative bowls with feathered and geometric designs. A set of matching punch cups displays a pinwheel pattern with pressed handles. The bases of the pieces appear to be molded without visible pontil marks, and no manufacturer signatures or backstamps are legible in the images.
Condition report:
The collection appears to be in good overall condition with the marigold iridescence remaining vibrant across the group. Minor surface wear and light scratching consistent with age are visible on the interior of the larger bowls (photo 1). The ruffled edges and handles show no immediate evidence of major chips or cracks, although minor flea bites typical of pressed glass may be present upon close inspection of the rims.
