This is glass that has been formed by being pressed into a mold while in a hot molten form. As it cools, it takes on the shape and detail of the mold. Once removed from the mold, and while still relatively hot, it is sprayed with metallic salts in liquid form which gives it the "oil-on-water" multicolor appearance.

Carnival Glass was first produced by Fenton in 1907 and continues to be made today. There were 5 or 6 major makers of it originally, but Fenton is the only one of the original group still in business.

There are about 2,000 different patterns in Carnival Glass, many of which are similar, leading to much confusion. This site details most of the known patterns but there are also many obscure patterns that I don't cover.

Colors can also be confusing. The most common is marigold, the orange color seen in the Ripple vase above. This color is always found on clear glass, but other colors are defined by the color of the glass, not the iridescent coating. The dark colored bowl above (Northwood's Grape and Cable) is purple or amethyst, the toothpick holder is green. The toothpick holder, by the way, is a contemporary piece--very few toothpick holders were made in Carnival during the original period of 1907 to 1930.

Indian folk art goes back many a mile and a century. It has seen sufficient transformations since its inception, which has been many centuries ago. It has evolved with time, but has always been an integral part of the rich Indian heritage. It has constantly been a part and parcel of the societal transformations that have taken place. They include paintings, which are an integral part of the tribal tradition and have often mirrored the lifestyle and traditions of the era. They are replete with the depictions of fairs, festivals, gods & goddesses, the bonding and social dynamics that was prevalent in those times. These also depict the daily village life, customs, rituals, birds, animals and the elements of nature and earth.

Indian Tribal Art Awareness
The Indian folk art includes wall paintings, calendar paintings, oil classics, cave paintings, miniatures etc. They in turn trace their roots to different schools namely Madhubani, Patachitra, Gond, Warli, Tanjore, which originate from different parts of India. The states of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu were major centers for Indian folk art.

Over the years they have found worldwide appreciation and admiration from art connoisseurs.

It has definitely caught the eye of the discerning few, and has received a fillip from the government of India and other interest groups occasionally. The potential is immense, which has not been exactly tapped. The aesthetic sensibilities and refined energy that Indian folk art carries has a great potential in the international market and audiences.
