Imperial Glass in Bellaire, Ohio, about 1910. Many collectors call

Fenton USA
Presents. . . Colorful Carnival Glass
In 1907, the fledgling Fenton Art Glass Company entered the
marketplace with a new line of
glassware called "Iridescent Ware." This new glass featured
vivid, ever-changing metallic hues on highly-patterned pressed
glass articles. Popular from 1908 to about
1914, Fenton's "Iridescent
Ware" enjoyed great success. Shown at right is the No. 1124
Butterfly and Berry Pitcher and Tumbler in Marigold Carnival,
circa 1910. By the 1950s, this glassware was eagerly sought after
by American glass collectors. Stories abound
that the glass was used for midway game prizes
and the phrase "Carnival glass" was coined.
When Fenton resumed production of
their iridescent glass in 1970,
it was decided
to rename it "Carnival glass," and it has been
called that ever since. The secret of
Fenton's Carnival glass is a special spray
of metallic salts on different base glass colors while it is very
hot. Using today's technology, Fenton's glass chemists have
rediscovered the striking vivid effects of some of the first
sprays used in 1907.
We continue to make our Carnival glass by
hand, the old-fashioned way. We
never cease to marvel at the
rainbow
of
colors of this beautiful glass.
We regard
the enthusiasm of today's
collectors
as
a great tribute to our company founder
Frank L. Fenton, who first
ventured into
the marketplace with "Iridescent Ware" more than a
century ago.
As we celebrate 105 years of
business
in 2010, we offer several new pieces in
Marigold Carnival. Shown here are
four of our new items:
a Rosebowl,
a Grape Vase,
a Grape Leaf Bowl and a Footed
Drape and Tie Bowl
(shown below).
