Purple Iridescent Carnival Glass Fan-Pattern Vase

This is a tall, trumpet-shaped decorative vase made of purple iridized glass, commonly referred to as carnival glass. The exterior surface is densely decorated with a relief-molded 'scallop' or 'fan' pattern, consisting of repeating concentric semi-circles that overlap in a scale-like fashion from the base to the rim. The iridescence, or oil-slick finish, exhibits a vibrant spectrum of colors including deep violet, magenta, and electric blue, which shift as light hits the textured surface. While the exact production date is difficult to pinpoint without a base stamp, the style is consistent with mid-to-late 20th-century revivals of early 1900s carnival glass. The piece features a slightly flared rim and a wider base for stability. The glass appears to be in excellent condition with no visible cracks, chips, or significant flea bites along the textured ridges. The iridescence is well-preserved with minimal rubbing or surface wear, suggesting it has been used primarily for display. The molding is crisp, a hallmark of mid-range to high-quality industrial glass pressing, though visible vertical seam lines indicate it was produced using a multi-part mold.
