Title: Carnival glass bowl - patterns?
Post by: NMott on June 19, 2013, 05:32:53 PM

I've been searching various carnival glass websites online, but can't find the proper names of the two patterns on this bowl.
Found a couple of references to the one of the back being called 'berry and leaf', but surely it would have a proper plant name (looks like Elderflower or Cornus to me).
I haven't found any examples of the pattern on the inside.

This is a scarce Fenton pattern called "Mirrored Lotus" by Carnival glass collectors. You can read more about it here:

Aha, that's brilliant, thank you.
Fenton's Mirrored Lotus and Horse Chestnut.
(My glass bowl is blue with a purpley-orange iridescence).
