For sale is this rare piece of Fenton Carnival glass - a bowl advertising the Birmingham Age Herald with "Carriers Greetings 1911" at the bottom of the bowl. The Birmingham Age Herald was a Birmingham, AL newspaper which gave these carnival glass items as appreciation gifts to its subscribers in 1911. This is a rare, hard-to-find piece. The bowl is amethyst in color and measures approximately 7 1/8" in diameter.
This piece does have a crack in the bottom of t...he bowl that seems stable. It goes in two directions and V's at the base edge. There is also a sideways V-shaped straw mark on the interior of the bowl on the left of the building and some manufacturer blemishes that are common to glassware of this age. I have attempted to photograph most of them. The foot has a bit of roughness as well, but I believe the roughness is all manufacturer made, but not sure. The crack in the base was difficult to photograph, but it seems to be in the interior part of the base. You can feel it only if you carefully run a fingernail across the base bottom. The bowl shows well and the crack only is seen if a light is behind the bowl. Despite the damage, this is an awesome piece of Carnival glass.Please email with any questions. Thanks for looking.
