Iridescence! An ever-changing, shimmering play of color, a dancing
rainbow of light- this is the essence, and indeed, the art of
Carnival Glass. This beautiful book begins at the very heart of
Carnival, with a comprehensive analysis, full of fascinating
insights, into how the glass was made, colored, iridized, and
decorated. The language of Carnival is fully documented through
definitions of shapes and edge treatments plus straightforward
explanations of a multitude of Carnival Glass terms. But the core
of this encyclopedic volume is the detailed coverage-simply set out
and easy to follow-on Carnival Glass shapes: bowls, plates, vases,
drinking vessels, tableware, lighting, tobacciana and more. All are
adorned with peacocks, flowers, butterflies, fruits, dragons, and
other fanciful treatments-in vibrant, shimmering iridescence. The
book is gorgeously illustrated with almost 700 full color
photographs that feature a wealth of classic as well as
contemporary United States Carnival, and new discoveries from
Europe, South America, and India. Each photograph is captioned with
complete information including color, pattern, manufacturer and
current values. The Art of Carnival Glass is an essential reference
tool for all Carnival collectors.
