Sowerby PINEAPPLE Marigold Foreign Carnival Glass Rose Bowl Bow Diamond Cut VTG

Description

You are bidding on a vintage Sowerby marigold pineapple design carnival glass serving/candy/nut/display bowl. It is beautiful with diamond cut details that look like pineapples, bows and scalloped top edge. Measures about 5 1/2" x 3 1/2". No chips or cracks. This is an example of foreign, non-US carnival glass from the mid to late 1920's. Marigold from other countries is often a much richer and warmer color and produced in lesser quantities then in the US. It has no cracks or chips but has normal production condition air bubble. Please see all pictures as part of the description and email questions before bidding. Sold as seen, no returns. Check out my other glass listings and I will combine shipping whenever possible. Thanks and good luck.
Carnival Glass Listings Info:
Production conditions in the early 1900s were dirty and dangerous; there was no "Quality Control" as we know it now. Issues resultant from these conditions include:
Air bubbles
in the glass that were not squeezed out during pressing.
Heat checks
which are internal rifts filled with air (why you can see them), usually from a burst air bubble.
Inclusions
in or on the surface of the glass, such as ash/cinders. Often found in the flames of vases and rims of bowls where it settled during pressing.
Strands
of undissolved colorant
Straw marks
which are lines
in the glass caused by premature solidification where the molten glass was snipped from the gather rod with cool metal shears when the mold was full and lines also formed during cooling.
Tool marks
from implements used to form the edge or influence the shape.
Mold issues
from filling and release such as incomplete or malformed edges,
rough seams, extra glass at seams, webbed, incomplete or pulled edge points.
Cooling issues
such as
uneven legs, slanted stems or a bowed base (causing rocking), surface lines & heat checks.
Production issues may be undesirable in the extreme, but they do not count as "damage" but are normal and will be found to some degree on nearly all antique glass. Issues of wear will be left to your discretion. And true damage will be noted such as cracks and chips.
