Iridescent Amber Carnival Glass Footed Bowl

This item is a footed bowl crafted from iridescent amber, or marigold, carnival glass. The bowl features a vibrant, changing color effect, exhibiting hues of gold, orange, pink, and purple, particularly noticeable where light reflects off its surface. It has a classic bowl-on-standard design, with a wide, flared rim and a sturdy circular foot. The upper portion of the bowl is relatively smooth, transitioning downwards to a band of raised, half-moon or scalloped decorative elements that encircle the mid-section. Directly beneath the rim, there appears to be a subtle, possibly fluted or textured band. The foot is also decorated with raised patterns, suggesting a cohesive design throughout the piece. The overall construction suggests it was molded, a common manufacturing technique for carnival glass. The glass material is translucent, allowing light to pass through and enhancing the iridescent effect. No obvious chips, cracks, or repairs are visible from the image, indicating good condition. The iridescent finish appears intact, showing no significant signs of wear or loss of sheen, which would typically be a concern with carnival glass. The piece likely dates from the early to mid-20th century, a popular period for carnival glass production. Its design and material point to it being a decorative serveware item, possibly for candies, nuts, or as a general display piece.
