Description

A stunning antique carnival glass bowl by Dugan, featuring a wide fluted rim, soft opalescence on the exterior, and a gentle satin-like sheen inside. The piece is decorated with a pressed floral motif in the centre, a classic example of early 20th-century American pressed glass artistry.

Dugan was one of the premier carnival glass makers, producing richly coloured iridescent pieces that are now highly sought after by collectors. This bowl displays beautifully as a centrepiece or fruit bowl and would also make a thoughtful heirloom gift.
