<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Scott, post: 7067, member: 203&quot;]Hi Mary,</p><p><br /></p><p>Carnival glass is an iridized glass with a pattern primarily produced between 1907 and maybe 1920 or so. There are two components to it. The base glass which is the color of the actual glass. This is most often seen when the piece is held to the light. The color of a piece of carnival is IDed by the color of the base glass, with the exception of Marigold which is on clear glass, and is IDed by the iridescence.</p><p>Carnival glass was produced mainly in bowls, plates, vases, and novelty items. Shakers and mustard jars were rarely produced. Mustard jars do look like syrup jugs but much smaller and usually have a small cut out for a small spoon. Some tops may have a handle, some may not. They were used to serve a dry mustard and were most often used during Victorian times. So, a table set with a salt and pepper would often have a mustard. As I mentioned before, carnival glass S&amp;Ps and mustards are rare due to the fact that these kinds of things were falling out of favor after the end of the Victorian period to more plain utilitarian type pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this helps <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
