Hi Pat,

I think that it is Jeannette Glass, Flora Gold, Louisa pattern.  :)

Nice one. I think Della is almost right, it is Jeannette Glass Floragold from the 1950s. I think Louisa may be another name used for it among Depression glassies but there a very similar Westmoreland carnival pattern called Louisa, which came in a limited range of shapes. Floragold was produced as a complete tableware range containing ashtrays to vases and everything between. But a vase/celery really would be worth getting your hands on, a comport or a square butter even better.

 :hiclp:Yes, Jeannette's 1950s Iridescent Floragold, for some reason usually described as Depression Glass.  However ... if looking for other pieces, keep an eye on the eBay Carnival Glass section as Floragold turns up there regularly, but don't tell anybody else ...
