Carnival Glass divided serving tray with fruit and berry motifs

This item is a beautiful vintage carnival glass tray, exhibiting a rich, iridescent amber or marigold color with a striking rainbow-like sheen that shifts with the light. The tray is rectangular with rounded corners and features a scalloped or fluted edge detail along its entire perimeter, adding to its decorative appeal. It is designed as a divided serving piece, with multiple compartments. The main, larger upper section is ideal for displaying a centerpiece or larger food items, and is embossed with a detailed pattern reminiscent of berries and foliage. Below this, there are four smaller, distinct compartments, each with a unique embossed fruit design. From left to right, these appear to be a pear, an apple, and two designs that could represent citrus slices or other round fruits. The entire surface, both interior and exterior, showcases the characteristic iridescence of carnival glass. On either short side, outside the main serving area, there are small, rounded handles or decorative elements composed of three stacked, spherical glass beads. The construction appears to be molded glass, typical of carnival glass manufacturing. The condition appears to be good with no obvious chips, cracks, or significant wear visible from the photograph, although the inherent nature of carnival glass often includes minor manufacturing imperfections such as mold lines or bubbles. This style of glass was particularly popular from the early 20th century, suggesting an estimated age from the 1900s to the 1940s. The quality indicates standard mass-produced decorative and functional glassware of the period.
