Marigold Carnival Glass Bowl

This is a small, circular marigold carnival glass bowl, likely a berry or sauce dish. It features a vibrant, iridescent marigold finish that displays characteristic flashes of pink, orange, and gold across its surface. The bowl is constructed from pressed glass with a scalloped or wavy edge and a distinct rim decorated with an intricate, repeating floral and foliate embossed pattern. This motif includes delicate flower heads and swirling leaf designs, creating a textured border that contrasts with the smooth, concave center or 'well' of the bowl. Given the style and pattern, this piece is likely an American-made product from the early-to-mid 20th century, potentially manufactured by a notable glassmaker such as Fenton Art Glass or Indiana Glass Company. The condition appears fair to good; there are visible surface scratches and 'straw marks' (minor cooling lines from the manufacturing process) in the center well, which are common in vintage pressed glass. The iridescence remains strong, though some minor wear to the metallic finish may be present on high points of the embossed design. The glass is translucent when held to the light, showing a warm amber hue beneath the surface treatment. No significant chips or cracks are immediately visible in the image.
