​More Carnival tumblers from India

​
Since we had our very first conversation with Bob in 1996, we have jointly researched the (very significant) output of Carnival Glass from makers in India, and as a result, the names of previously unheard-of makers have entered Carnival Glass vocabulary, for example, Jain, Paliwal, Advance, AVM and Khandelwal.

We now have some 45 different Indian Tumbler patterns identified in the Thistlewood's Tumbler Gallery (and many are Bob's) - so our gallery will give you even more examples of the many designs from these makers.
