Marigold Carnival Glass Bowl with Handles - 1980s Style

Decorative bowl with two handles made of pressed carnival glass with an iridescent finish. This piece features the classic Marigold tone, characterized by orange, pink, and golden reflections that vary according to the incidence of light on the textured surface.

Object History: Carnival glass, historically nicknamed 'poor man's Tiffany', had a significant resurgence in the 1980s. American and European manufacturers revisited early 20th-century formulas, applying metallic salts to hot glass to achieve a shimmering patina. This bowl follows the tradition of pressed glass with detailed reliefs.
