Carnival glass was first introduced in the early 20th century by major American glassmakers such as the Imperial Glass Company, Fenton, and Northwood as an affordable alternative to iridescent art glass. Often called the poor man's Tiffany, it was mass-produced by pressing molten glass into molds and spraying it with metallic salts before firing to create the signature rainbow sheen. Smoke carnival glass became particularly popular during the mid-century revival periods. Today, these distinctive pieces are actively collected by vintage glass enthusiasts worldwide.
