For Leni Opal Open in blue

<< < (4/4)

Anne:
Glen, you are in grave danger of turning us all into carnival glass afficionados and then we'll buy it all up and leave none for you!   :P   :lol:

Seriously, I like the opal/peachy coloured ones rather than the strong orange/marigold. It was that strong orange colour that put me off carnival really - I'm not an orange person. The bluey/greeny colours you've shown us before and these opally coloured ones are gorgeous.

Glen:
Anne, yes, I also love the blue shades - especially when the iridescence is electric and shimmering with rose and purple.

Of course, most people think of marigold when Carnival is mentioned - it is the most frequently found colour, and there are certainly a lot of rather poor, flat and weak examples of it too. But there are also some examples of pastel marigold around. Don't misunderstand - true pastel marigold is not a shiny, silvery weak effect. It's a shimmering, magical iridescence that, with the right lighting, is Drop Dead Gorgeous. It's also hard to find.  :cry:

And so as we began this thread by talking about Northwood's glass, how about a piece of Northwood's pastel marigold in the Peacocks pattern, to give an accolade for good old Harry.
