Description
Marigold and clear crystal dessert glass. Comes with matching saucer (2021-2855). This type of glass is known as carnival glass, popular in the early 20th century, as it was a common prize for winning carnival games. It can be distinguished from Depression glass by the iridescent finish and multicolored patterns. Depression glass does not usually have the same finish and is commonly a single color.
