Imperial Pink Contemporary Carnival.
Imperial commenced the production of Contemporary Carnival Glass in the early 1960s to take advantage of the developing market for new, collectable Carnival Glass. This colour, Pink was made from 1978 to 1982 under the ownership of Lennox (marked LIG) and then Arthur Lorch (marked ALIG).

Imperial often revived old patterns and moulds that were used previously for Classic Carnival / EAPG production, but their Contemporary Carnival should bear their Imperial mark (IG, LIG or ALIG). Of the pieces shown in the catalogue pages above, these patterns were also made also in Classic (old) Carnival: Rose/Imperial Rose (known as Lustre Rose to Classic collectors), Tiger Lily, Loganberry, Lace/Imperial Lace (known as Octagon to Classic collectors), Hattie, Robin, Pansy, Scroll Embossed, Windmill, Star Medallion, and Frosted Block.
The Octagon pattern, originally called "The Bellaire" has an amazing story - read it here: Imperial's Octagon - The Story Behind the Glass.
