Iridescent Marigold Carnival Glass Bowl on Pedestal

This item is an iridescent marigold-colored carnival glass bowl, presented on a pedestal base. The bowl features a highly ruffled or crimped rim, typical of carnival glass from the early 20th century. The glass itself exhibits a vibrant, shimmering iridescence that shifts in color from golden yellow to coppery orange and subtle purples/pinks, particularly noticeable on the interior surfaces and the ruffled edges. The exterior body of the bowl appears to have a textured pattern, possibly depicting grapes or a similar organic motif, while the interior bottom shows a more geometric or starburst pattern, adding depth and visual interest. The bowl is supported by a fluted or ribbed pedestal foot, which widens to a stable, circular base also adorned with fine, concentric fluting. The construction suggests a pressed glass technique, common for carnival glass. There are no readily visible chips, cracks, or significant damage from the provided images, indicating good overall condition, although minor wear consistent with its age, such as slight scratches or internal glass defects from manufacturing, cannot be entirely ruled out without close inspection. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced decorative glass from its era, known for its vibrant colors and intricate molded designs. This piece likely dates from the early 20th century, a period when carnival glass was highly popular.
