Carnival Glass Inspired Yellow-Orange Bowl With Cutout Edge #2

Carnival glass has been known by many other names in the past: aurora glass, dope glass, rainbow glass, taffeta glass, and disparagingly as 'poor man's Tiffany'. Its current name was adopted by collectors in the 1950s from the fact that it was sometimes given as prizes at carnivals, fetes, and fairgrounds. However, that can be misleading as people tend to think that all of it was distributed in this way but evidence suggests that the vast majority of it was purchased[1] by the housewife to brighten up the home at a time when only the well-off could afford bright electric lighting
