AMERICAN-MADE CARNIVAL GLASS
From 1907 into the late 1930s
The United States Glass Company (U. S. Glass)
was founded in 1891. It combined 17 factories, each of which was given a "letter" designation; e. g., Factory R (Tiffin). A major strike in the late 1800s, the Depression, and natural disasters pared down the factories until only Factory R (Tiffin) to where the company offices had moved in 1938, was left. The company went bankrupt in 1963. The Tiffin plant reorganized as "Tiffin Art Glass".

AUNT POLLY
aka DIAMONDS
Lovely Marigold Carnival Glass 3½" Sherbet, in excellent undamaged antique condition.
Excellent Antique Condition
means that while a
listed
item has no discernible post-production damage (chips, cracks, etc.), it may have one or more issues related to the dirty and dangerous production methods and the non-existance of Quality Control of the early 1900s. Production issues include:
Air bubbles
not squeezed out during pressing.
Heat checks
which are internal rifts filled with air (which is why you can see them), usually from a burst air bubble.
Inclusions
in the glass or on the surface of ash, grit or other foreign matter.
Strands
of undissolved colorant (usually in green glass). Lines called
straw marks
where molten glass was snipped with cool metal shears from the gathering rod, causing the glass touched by the shears to harden prematurely; lines in the glass also formed naturally during the cooling process.
Tool marks
from implements used to form the edge or influence the shape.
Mold issues
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). While these issues may be undesirable in the extreme, they do not qualify as "damage" and will be found to some degree on nearly all antique Carnival Glass.
Combined Shipping
is offered for both domestic and international shipment of multiple purchases. All items are bubble wrapped and cushioned with peanuts; no tape is used on the bubble wrap. Cartons are
labeled GLASS or FRAGILE, and
shipped in one business day; if I'm away then ASAP upon return.
All shipments are insured. International shipments will travel via USPS Priority Mail International for insurance and tracking purposes. The declared customs value, depending on destination country, may be the total of the purchase price plus the shipping charge.
