Imperial Carnival "Glassware for Illumination"

The catalogue pages shown here are all courtesy and Copyright of Jon D. Bartell.

Shown below are colour pages from Imperial's Catalog 104-F, "Pressed Glassware for Illumination", dated around 1918.

​The shades on these three catalogue pages, 5-F, 7-F and 9-F are all listed as "Satin NUART" shades.

As Imperial described them: "All our Satin shades, crystal as well as iridescent, are densely sand frosted by hand, on the outside."

​Imperial also described the three individual satin colours as shown here on the right.
