Lot #65: Carnival Glass & Jeannette Glass Wedding Box

The Indiana Glass Company introduced the King's Crown pattern (their #77) in the late 1950s, and produced it for many years. They marketed it under their own name, as well as when they were a subsidiary of Lancaster Colony Corporation, and also through their marketing company Tiara Products. It has also been called simply Crown, or Thumbprint, or Crown & Thumbprint. This is the blue carnival glass open compote, original called a "5-inch Wedding Bowl." It is 5 1/4 inches tall, and has a top diameter of 4 7/8ths inches. The foot measures 3 inches in diameter. It exhibits 3-part mold lines. It is in good vintage condition with no chips or cracks, but does have some scratches inside, likely from a scouring pad. To me there is something special about the rainbow of blue carnival glass, and this one just shines. A central oak leaf is encircled by four more oak leaves with clusters of acorns filling the space in between. Made in 1910-1918 Fenton Acorn pattern ice cream shaped bowl in a dazzling red. Measures 7 inches in diameter and is 2 and 1/4 inches high. Smooth exterior. It is not signed. Has the typical imperfections of Carnival Glass of the period, i.e. mold seams, bubbles, straw marks and normal wear. I find No chips, cracks or damage. It is an absolute beauty. Along with this hard to find red base color, it has a nice iridescent finish with turquoise and gold highlights. It seems to have interesting striations in the center inside and out; these may only be on the surface, but add interest none the less. Such beauty, so Add a warm mid-century glow to your home with this vintage amberina covered compote. Made from richly colored pressed glass, it features a geometric paneled design, scalloped detailing, a square pedestal base, and a fitted lid. The color shifts beautifully from deep ruby red to glowing golden amber, especially when displayed near natural light. This style of covered candy dish was popular during the 1960s and 1970s and is often attributed to the Jeannette Glass Company based on its shape, decorative pattern, and amberina finish. The piece is unmarked, so the maker cannot be confirmed. Use it as a candy dish, trinket holder, colorful table accent, or addition to a collection of vintage amberina and mid-century pressed glass. The lid may also be inverted beneath the dish for an alternate display.
