Item description:

Two marigold-hued iridescent carnival glass bowls, each presenting a distinctive ruffled edge design. The iridescence showcases radiant gold and pinkish opalescent reflections, a hallmark of classic carnival glass production techniques that gained popularity in the early 20th century.

One bowl has a six-lobed, flared rim, while the other displays a gently scalloped silhouette. Both bowls measure approximately 5 inches in diameter, as indicated by the measuring tape reference in the images. The glass has a pressed ribbed pattern radiating from the center on the interior, while the exterior reveals subtle molding lines, confirming its method of production.

Carnival glass was prized for its shimmering finish and collectibility. These bowls appear free of chips and cracks in close-up photos, making them excellent additions for historical glassware collectors or for display.
