This is an amazing purple carnival glass (iridized) 8-ruffled bowl featuring the very desired pattern "SHELL AND SAND" made by the Imperial Glass Company of Bellaire, Ohio, circa 1910

Excellent condition.  No chips, cracks, or restorations.  Some light straw marks from manufacturing on backside.  The iridescence is strong and unmarred. The stippling effect is dazzling. The pattern is well-articulated.

There are the usual internal air bubbles and straw marks (shearing and crimping tool marks) commonly associated with the hand manufacturing of old carnival, opalescent, stretch, and EAPG.  Each piece of this old fabulous glass is unique, no two pieces are identical.

Payment must be received within 3 days of auction or store close.
Always happy to combine shipping when safe to save you shipping costs. Thank you.
