This 80+ year old vintage set of peachy-pink-orange, often iridescent glassware typically found in compotes and fruit bowls is called Marigold Carnival Glass. Produced extensively from the early 1900s through the 1970s, this set is likely from the 1940s based on the individual who acquired it. It is known for its bright orange-gold, iridescent sheen applied to pressed glass, often featuring patterns like grapes, leaves, or florals. It is distinct from other colored depression glass due to its attractive metallic coating.
The large single three-footed bowl is 8 ½” wide and 4” tall.
The six individual compote dishes are 4 ½” wide and 2” tall.
The central design motif is a butterfly which is surrounded by leafy vines with berries [ raspberries ? ]. This decoration appears both on the larger, central dish as well as on the individual pieces.
Common pieces found in this style are footed bowls, compotes, candy dishes, and serving plates.
