Amethyst Carnival
Carnival style glass is a wonderful and unique way to create or enhance any home glassware collection. Whether you are looking for decorative pieces or functional household items, carnival glass offers a wide variety of choices for your home. Carnival glass comes in a variety of colors and is created by adding metallic salts while the glass is still hot and then re-firing the pieces to create an iridescent sheen. Originally referred to as "Iridill" glass when it was first created in 1907, these pieces were not as popular as glassmakers anticipated and were most frequently used as prizes at carnival (it was not referred to as carnival glass until the mid 1950's).
Carnival glass pieces are a welcome addition to any home. This type of glass produces beautiful and vibrant colors that complement any decorating style. The most popular colors produced today are amethyst, marigold, cobalt, green, and red. While this style of glass is very distinct, it is produced in a large selection of patterns and designs. Carnival glass is produced - allowing you to incorporate it into your home decorating and fine tableware collection. It is a simple way to introduce new vibrancy into any room or table and create a new and exciting theme. There are a few simple steps to remember when beginning any glass collection. First, antique and reproduction pieces are both available so be sure to check carefully if you are looking to purchase original pieces or new reproductions. Second, be careful when cleaning and storing your collection. Glass is sensitive to temperature change and can easily crack if transferred from cold to hot environments (or vice versa). Carnival style glass is readily available online as well as in many home decorating magazines. When you start to collect different pieces you can be sure that different colors and patterns will tie themselves together and create a common theme.
These carnival glass pieces are available online through LookInTheAttic & Company and they offer free design assistance and help.
