Indiana Glass Harvest Gold Carnival Wedding Bowl

Carnival Glass, Wedding Bowl

The colours just don’t show up in the photo.  This is a very attractive piece.  I would have called it a compote, although it is larger than my other compotes, until I saw the piece from Indiana Glass.  “The Harvest Gold Carnival Wedding Bowl was first sold separately as a wedding or fruit bowl. It was later packaged with the matching candle holders and sold as a console set. The candleholders were never sold separately so they can be tough to find. The gold carnival wedding bowl is a large bowl measuring 8 1/2 inches tall and 8 inches acrossed the scalloped top. It was only made in gold carnival glass. It was NOT made in blue or lime green carnival.”

I’m not sure if the name ‘wedding bowl’ implies that it was intended to be a boxed wedding gift, or if it’s simply just a name.  I found it at a Value Village and ‘had’ to add it to my collection of marigold, amber pieces.  But the size precludes adding too many  – not enough space to store them.

Pretty to look at in the sun however.


Indiana Gold Carnival Hen on Nest

Carnival Glass, Hen, Nest

This is yet another example of my non-collection of hens on nests.  Very pretty.  I gather that Indiana Glass made these in clear, olive, pink, ruby flash, and milkglass, as well as in the Carnival colours.

From Indiana Glass “The carnival glass Hens or Hen on a Nest were made by Indiana Glass in the 70’s.  These were made in all three of the carnival glass colors, blue, gold and lime green carnival glass.  Indiana Glass made their Hens for 70 plus yerars.  According to Indiana Hon collectors, the can be found in 80 different colors.  The above three are the only carnival glass version.“  See this site for photos of the three colours.

I have this, along with my other hens, on a low white bookcase in our front window.  Very pretty.

 

Indiana Glass Green Compote Line 1007

Compote

Here’s another compote from Indiana Glass.  I’ve had it for awhile and use it when I put out my ‘fall’ colour scheme.  I have found that this is line, or pattern, #1007 and is described as ‘Tulip” or tulip-shaped.  The compote comes in quite a number of colours – iridescent, amber, blue, frosted blue – at least.  I keep green glass pieces in it – picks up the light (when I’ve washed the dust off).  As you can see by the foot, I’ve NOT done that for awhile.  That’s the trouble with the dark colours…..you can really see the dust.
