Carnival Glass Bowl — a glowing example of classic American pressed glass, finished in rich marigold iridescence. This decorative bowl features a ruffled edge, fluted petal-style molding, and a radiant finish that shifts from amber to gold to orange in the light. Its surface shimmer and scalloped silhouette make it as eye-catching today as it was on Depression-era tables.
Marigold was one of the most popular colors produced in the golden age of carnival glass, known for its warm, sunny tones and versatility. Companies such as Indiana Glass and Imperial Glass produced countless variations of ruffled-edge bowls with pressed floral or geometric motifs, distributing them widely as affordable decorative pieces and even as promotional premiums. While patterns and makers varied, the marigold hue remains a signature of the form.
Whether used for fruit, candy, or display, this bowl radiates vintage charm. It’s a timeless example of how glassmakers once turned utility into ornament — a bright, beautiful piece for collectors or nostalgic decorators alike.
