Pressed glass was never made in wooden molds. Carnival Glass was pressed into metal mold and while hot sprayed with metallic salts dissolved in water. This caused the iridescent surface to form.

Beautiful! I love carnival glass. Thank you for sharing.

I have a set of pitcher and six glasses in the grape pattern, iridescent blue, and it’s beautiful!

I think this type of glass is beautiful.

[@cityfarmhouseantiques9917]

I sure think it is too! Pure eye candy and in a cabinet you can look at it every day! They also look great on the table.

You did not talk about the value or prices of the prices you showed. You should also should have talked about prices of prices of what people may find at thrift stores vs. antique stores. There is also a good video out there on most expensive carnival glass pieces.

We missed the "value" Carnival Glass...

[@riverannie7]

You did not talk about value. How much should I pay for or sell it for !

[@cityfarmhouseantiques9917]

It varies based on condition, color, and pattern.

[@janetthomas3037]

I love carnival glass but can never find any

[@cityfarmhouseantiques9917]

Try your thrift shops, estate sales, etc.

[@jeninugent3822]

Is all carnival glass iridescent?

[@portlandgoose4727]

Yes

[@mutzireitz4123]

I do not have carnival glass but a German made piece with a sticker on it. It says bleikristall echt pfauenau. The end of the last name I gave to you is where the paper ends or ripped. I do know it is crystal. My mother gave this to me before her death in 2003. It's colors are similar to carnival glass. Is it worth anything?

[@jbritbratmum1184]

Do you purchase from estate sales if my son doesn't want the ones I have. Not that I'm planning to make them available anytime real soon.

[@roxanereddy2471]

Read the history of Fenton, that gives the explanation.

[@gabeee4332]

Carnival glass is nice but the younger generation really don't collect that I find it all.the time at thrift stores very cheap more than likely owned by grandparents who passed away...
