Rather than the dense molded decoration associated with earlier carnival glass, the beauty here comes from the simplicity of the form: light, color and those wonderfully exaggerated rays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lovely piece for a bar, dressing table or collected-glass cabinet, and particularly striking displayed where natural or lamplight can catch the iridescence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWORTH NOTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original source measurement indicated approximately 9 inches; however, the ruler shown in our photographs places the diameter closer to 8 inches.
