Antique Carnival Glass may have none, some or all ofthe following: just a few or many air bubbles of various sizes, inclusions(ash, cinders, etc.), “straw marks” (actually shear marks), tool marks, worn, missing or pooled iridescence, heat checks (internal fissures caused by unevencooling); rough seams, extra glass at seams or webbing between edge points.This glass was produced a century ago in less than clean environments beforeQuality Control existed. It was cut with cold shears often producing what iscommonly referred to as "straw marks". It was then hand pressed intomoulds that did eventually wear out, thus lessening detail. Finally, it was hand-sprayedwith metallic salts and sometimes refired for effect. Edge treatments such asruffles, candy ribbon, pie crust or 3-in-1 were all hand shaped with varioustools which often left tool marks.
