AMERICAN-MADE CARNIVAL GLASS
From 1907 into the late 1930s
The Westmoreland Glass Company
changed its name in 1924 from Westmoreland Specialty Company. Westmoreland produced a wide variety of glass  products, and even processed, among other things, vinegar, mustard, baking powder and lemon flavor, which were ultimately contained in glass jars produced by Westmoreland. Some of these containers were cold-painted as "Goofus" glass. They produced around 35 patterns iridized as Carnival Glass, with ads for it appearing in Butler Brothers Catalogs as early as 1908.
ESTATE
Scarce Marigold Carnival Glass 3" Mug, in excellent antique condition.
There is a crack running along the seam at the handle.
Excellent Antique Condition
means that while a
listed
item has no discernible post-production damage (chips, cracks, etc.), it may have one or more issues related to the dirty and dangerous production methods and the non-existance of Quality Control of the early 1900s. Production issues include:
Air bubbles
not squeezed out during pressing.
Heat checks
which are internal rifts filled with air (which is why you can see them), usually from a burst air bubble.
Inclusions
in the glass or on the surface of ash, grit or other foreign matter.
Strands
of undissolved colorant (usually in green glass). Lines called
straw marks
where molten glass was snipped with cool metal shears from the gathering rod, causing the glass touched by the shears to harden prematurely; lines in the glass also formed naturally during the cooling process.
Tool marks
from implements used to form the edge or influence the shape.
Mold issues
such as incomplete or malformed edges,
rough seams, extra glass at seams; webbed, incomplete or pulled edge points.
Cooling issues
such as
uneven legs, slanted stems or a bowed base (causing rocking). While these issues may be undesirable in the extreme, they do not qualify as "damage" and will be found to some degree on nearly all antique Carnival Glass.
Combined Shipping
is offered for both domestic and international shipment of multiple purchases. All items are bubble wrapped and cushioned with peanuts; no tape is used on the bubble wrap. Cartons are
labeled GLASS or FRAGILE, and
shipped in one business day; if I'm away then ASAP upon return.
All shipments are insured. International shipments will travel via USPS Priority Mail International for insurance and tracking purposes. The declared customs value, depending on destination country, may be the total of the purchase price plus the shipping charge.
