Fenton marigold carnival glass covered sugar bowl with butterfly and berry pattern. 6.5”

Carnival glass, also known as iridescent glass, was produced from the early 1900s to the 1930s, with Fenton being one of its most prolific and well-known manufacturers. It was made by applying metallic salts to molten glass, which then produced a shimmering, iridescent effect when fired. This technique created vibrant colors and patterns that were highly popular during the era, often used for decorative tableware and gift items.

The 'Butterfly and Berry' pattern is a classic example of Fenton's carnival glass output, featuring detailed motifs of butterflies and clusters of berries, often set against a background of leaves. This particular marigold color, with its warm, golden-orange iridescence, is one of the most sought-after hues. Covered sugar bowls like this were common household items, prized for both their utility and their decorative appeal.
