Item History & Price
DUGAN / DIAMOND
1904 - 1931
UNMARKED CARNIVAL ERA GLASS
PERSIAN GARDEN
White Carnival Glass 6" Ice Cream Shape Bowl with Big Basketweave Exterior, in excellent undamaged antique condition.
"White" Carnival Glass is clear crystal glass that has been lightly iridized and that has usually (but not always) been "frosted" - ranging from ghostly to almost opaque - by exposure to hydrofluoric acid fumes before being iridized. The iridescence o...n white Carnival Glass is the most elusive of all, being totally at the mercy of lighting and viewing angle; there one instant and gone the next. The viewing of white Carnival needs to be "hands-on"; tip it, turn it, and enjoy the ever-changing color.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Thomas Dugan was Harry Northwood's cousin. In 1904 Harry Northwood sold his Indiana, Pennsylvania plant to Thomas Dugan, and the Dugan Glass Company was born. The company changed hands in 1913 to become the Diamond Glass Company and remained thus until the factory burned to the ground in 1931. Diamond Glass continued many Dugan patterns, so attribution is often listed as Dugan/Diamond. Just to add to the confusion regarding who made which pattern way back when, some number of molds used for Custard Glass production were left behind when Northwood sold his factory. Dugan used some of these molds for the production of Carnival Glass, both with and without the Northwood trademark removed.
Excellent Antique Condition means that a listed item has no discernible post-production damage but may have one or more of the following issues related to the production methods and conditions in the early 1900s which, by today's standards were dirty and dangerous, and Quality Control did not exist: air bubbles not squeezed out by hand-pressing; inclusions of ash from the furnace or debris from dirty conditions; strands of undissolved metallic salts used as colorant; lines called straw marks where molten glass was snipped with cool metal shears from the gathering rod, hardened immediately and mixed into the glass like dried paint; marks from shaping tools used to form the edge or influence the shape; mold issues such as incomplete or malformed edges, rough seams, extra glass at seams, webbed, incomplete or pulled edge points; cooling issues such as uneven legs or a bowed base causing rocking; heat checks which are internal separations from uneven cooling or burst air bubbles, etc. While these issues may be undesirable in the extreme, they do not qualify as "damage" and will be found to some degree on nearly all Carnival Glass.
Combined Shipping is offered for both domestic and international shipment of multiple purchases. All items are bubble wrapped and cushioned with peanuts; no tape is used on the bubble wrap. Cartons are labeled GLASS or FRAGILE, and shipped in one business day; if I'm away then ASAP upon return. All shipments are insured.
