These pages provide a small sample of the variety of carnival glass shapes and patterns available. They are not intended to be a comprehensive guide. The values quoted are estimates only, based on retail prices in Australia, and assume that the piece is in excellent or mint condition, with no chips, cracks or other blemishes in the glass, and no scratches, worn patches or other blemishes in the iridescence.

American Carnival Glass 2

This is one of three similar marigold powder jars made by Jeanette. It is  6" high and is called the 'Bambi' powder jar. There is also a 'Poodle' and a 'Scotty Dog' powder jar. They each sell for between $A40 and $A50.

This pretty little vase is called 'Mary Ann' and was made by Dugan in both marigold and amethyst. In marigold they normally sell for between $A160 and $A180. There is also a three handled loving cup in this pattern which sells for considerably more.

This magnificent, large compote is the 'Mikado' compote made by Fenton. It stands 7 1/2" high and is nearly 10" wide. It was made in a variety of colours, with smooth, ruffled and ice cream shape edges. In marigold they normally sell for between $A360 and $A380.

Red wine looks absolutely amazing when served in these beautiful 'Octagon' pattern goblets made by Imperial. They stand 6 1/2" high and normally sell for between $A70 and $A90 each.

This is the 'Orange Tree' mug. It stands 3 1/2" high, and was made in a variety of colours. In marigold they normally sell for between $A70 and $A90.

This is a two handled pickle dish in Imperial's 'Pillar Flute' pattern. Made only in marigold and clambroth it is 6 1/2" long and normally sells for between $A40 and $A60.

Here is another beautiful set of candle holders, this time in the 'Premium' pattern by Imperial. They stand 8 1/2" high, and were made in marigold, amethyst and red. In marigold they normally sell for between $A70 and $A90 per pair.

To prove yet again the diversity of shapes that Carnival Glass was made in, here is a marigold electrical insulator made by Corning Pyrex. It is 3 3/4" high and 3 3/4" wide, and normally sells for between $A40 and $A60. Not just a pretty piece of glass, but a highly functional piece of electrical equipment!

This is the 'Sawtooth Prisms' cigarette set. The jar in the middle holds cigarettes, and the other pieces are ash trays. Known only in marigold, we don't know who the maker was. The jar stands 3 1/2" high and is 3" wide, while each of the ash trays is 3" wide. A complete set like this would normally sell for between $A160 and $A180, while the jar alone would normally fetch $A90-$A110.

Dugan was quite a prolific maker of peach opalescent coloured Carnival Glass, and this particular piece is an 8" wide tri-corner bowl in the 'Ski Star' pattern. This example would normally sell for between $A480 and $A500.

This is the 'Standard' vase, believed to be made by Dugan. Known only in marigold,  it normally sells for between $A80 and $A100.

This elegant wine set was made by Imperial in their 'Star & File' pattern. Known only in marigold, it would normally sell for between $A800 and $A820.

This 6" high vase is Northwood's 'Tornado' pattern. Made in a variety of colours, this marigold example normally sells for between $A570 and $A590.

Standing 6 1/2" high, Northwood's 'Town Pump' is considered very rare. It was made in marigold, amethyst and green, and this marigold example would normally sell for between $A4000 and $A4100. Beware of modern reproductions of this pattern!

Millersburg made some truly magnificent Carnival Glass, and this 8 3/4" wide 'Trout & Fly' bowl is one of their best examples. Made in marigold, amethyst, green and lavender they are highly sought after by collectors. A marigold example such as this would normally sell for between $A930 and $A950.

This pretty colour is called celeste blue, and was made mostly by Fenton. The colour is like aqua, is frosty looking, and the iridescence has an onion skin (stretched) texture. This 8" wide bowl shown is in Fenton's 'Vintage' pattern and has an ice cream shape edge - that is, the rim curves up to a vertical position. It would normally sell for between $A3,000 and $A4,000. A 6" version would normally sell for between $A2,000 and $A2,500, while a 9" version would normally sell for between $A6,000 and $A7,000.

Wouldn't this magnificent epergne look gorgeous in the centre of your dining room table? This is Northwood's 'Wide Panel' epergne, and was made in a variety of colours. This marigold example would normally sell for between $A1200 and $A1300.

Oil (or hurricane) lamps were another item made in Carnival Glass. This 8" high (to the bottom of the burner) example is in Imperial's 'Zipper Loop' pattern. They were made in marigold and smoke, and in 7", 8", 10" and hand lamp versions. This marigold 8" example would normally fetch $A980-$A1000.

Electric light shades, such as these shown here, were also made in Carnival Glass. However, it is very difficult to identify the maker and/or pattern name for many of them. The maker and pattern of these ones is unknown, but they normally sell for between $A10 and $A20 each.

The origins of this light shade, however, are known. It is the 'Starlyte' electric light shade made by Imperial. Known only in marigold, it normally sells for between $A150 and $A170.

Previous thought to be the 'Blocks & Arches' pattern by the Crown Crystal Glass Co of Australia, this 6 1/4" high water pitcher is in what is now believed to be the 'Block' pattern made by Jenkins of the USA. It is only known in marigold. 4" high tumblers were also made in this pattern. The pitcher would normally sell for between $A120 and $A150, while the tumblers would fetch $A30-$A40 each. There is also a sugar and creamer, and a milk pitcher, in the same pattern.

This is the 'Tree Trunk' pattern made by Northwood. It was only made in vases. 'Tree Trunk' vases came in six different size and shape variations, made from three different size base moulds, and it this base size which determines the size classification. Pictured here is the rare elephant's foot size, with has a base width of 5 1/4" and a height of less than 15". This amethyst example is worth around $A4,700.
