This new process was meant to be a less costly alternative to the one used by Tiffany, Steuben, and others which produced glassware with internal iridescence. It also replaced the process of cold-painting, which later became known as "Goofus" treatment .Molten glass was poured into a mold and then forced by a "plunger" under great pressure into that mold's design. The glass was removed from the mold, reheated, and then hand-shaped to final form by spinning, flaring and/or adding special edge treatment . Still hot, it was then sprayed with a metallic salt solution , which bonded with the glass. The resulting metallic film reflected various spectra of light to create the lovely iridescence for which Carnival Glass is known. The type of metallic salt used and the thickness of application determined both color and intensity.IMPERIAL began Carnival production in 1909, in Bellaire, Ohio. Glassware produced during the Carnival Era (1907-1930s) is NOT MARKED, except for the scarce 'Iron Cross' maker mark. Impressed marking of glass with an "I [over] G" generally began when Carnival patterns were re-issued in the 1970s. The initial use of (removable) paper labels on re-issued Carnival patterns produced prior to the 70s does call into question the age of some pieces. It has been my experience that stippling on the bottom of the marie denotes a formerly labeled re-issue.As you can see in the photo, there is an internal flaw (does not break the surface) in the fitter of this lovely Marigold Carnival Glass "Coral Shell" Lamp Shade. I suspect it occurred when the glass was knocked out of the neck hole.4.5" with a 2.25" fitterNo other issues.CONDITION IS A SUBJECTIVE EVALUATIONAntique Carnival Glass is approximately 100 years old and will have certain internal and external flaws and imperfections inherent to the production process. UNLESS SEVERE, I DO NOT CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING AS DAMAGE: air bubbles, inclusions (ash, cinder, bugs), straw marks (shear marks), tool marks, incomplete or malformed edges, legs of differing lengths, rocking, missing or pooled iridescence, heat checks (internal separations from uneven cooling), rough seams, extra glass at seams, webbing between edge points, pulled points, connected points, etc. You will see these imperfections in the photos.
