Read All About It!
This new feature shows how Carnival Glass featured in some wonderful adverts in newspapers, magazines and journals back in the days when it was first made. We show Carnival Glass as it was presented in contemporaneous publications from all around the world. 

Carnival Glass was presented in all forms, from decorative to purely utilitarian, and this series based on our ongoing research, is intended to document this fascinating area of glass history. So click on any of the images below to ..... Read All About It!


We also have another entirely new feature that focusses on how Carnival Glass was sold by mail order, how it was used as a sales inducement, and how it was promoted as a "premium" for purchasing other goods from catalogues. This new feature is "Sell it to me!"
