Frank and John Fenton
(John later founded Millersburg Glass Co.) introduced America to inexpensive iridized glassware in 1907. Their innovative process involved spraying hot glass with proprietary solutions of metallic salts to produce a microscopically-thin layer of metal which bonded to the glass on a molecular level. Different salts and multiple sprayings influenced the color and intensity of the iridescence which makes Carnival Glass so beautiful and collectible. Nearly 150 patterns in Carnival Glass are credited to the Fenton Art Glass Company.
Excellent Antique Condition
means that a
listed
item has no discernible post-production damage but may have one or more of the following issues related to the production methods and conditions in the early 1900s when Quality Control did not exist, and working conditions were dirty and dangerous:
air bubbles
not squeezed out by hand-pressing;
inclusions
of ash from the furnace or debris from dirty conditions;
strands
of undissolved metallic salts used as colorant; lines called
straw marks
where molten glass was snipped with cool metal shears from the gathering rod, hardened immediately and mixed into the glass like dried paint;
marks from shaping tools
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 or a bowed base causing rocking;
heat checks
which are internal separations from uneven cooling or burst air bubbles, etc. 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 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.
