Marigold Dugan Wreath of Roses Candy Dish: Antique Tri-Corner Whimsey Carnival Glass Bowl (0096-24)

A rare, hand-shaped treasure from the golden age of American Carnival Glass.

This antique Dugan "Wreath of Roses" dish is a stunning example of the "whimsey" tradition. Produced in Indiana, PA, around 1910, this piece was hand-pulled into a unique tri-corner shape while the glass was still molten. The Marigold iridescence is vibrant, casting a fiery, metallic glow that shifts with the light.

Why it’s a collector’s essential: Unlike standard bowls, this tri-cornered form is highly versatile. While designed as a candy dish, its deep folds make it an exquisite small vase, a unique candle holder, or a sophisticated trinket dish for a vanity.

IMPORTANT NOTE: At Darling Della Vintage, we believe every scratch and bit of patina tells a story. Our pieces are 30+ years old and have lived full lives, so gentle wear, tiny chips, or age-worn charm are part of their soul — not flaws. We photograph and describe each item carefully, but please expect natural signs of age. Embracing vintage means embracing history — and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
