Welcome to the Contemporary USA Tumbler Wing of Bob Smith's Carnival Glass Tumbler Museum. We hope you enjoy your visit.
An astonishing array of Carnival tumblers have been produced by makers in the USA, beginning in the 1960s with the resurgence of interest in Carnival Glass collecting. Produced for the Carnival collector, or indeed for domestic use (such as the Carnival made by Indiana Glass), Contemporary tumblers are known in a spectacular range of patterns and colours.
Reproductions, re-issues, rare “customised” tumblers such as those from Crider and Hansen, entirely new designs and even some “fakes” – all will be located in this Wing of the Museum.
We are busy setting up the Rooms with their various Exhibits and Displays, and they will be added to regularly. So please keep visiting the Museum!
