AS WE ALL KNOW...STUFF HAPPENS
Shelfer City is home to flawed but fabulous Carnival Glass that at some point received slight damaged during the 100+ years on Earth, which may or may not have been repaired or ameliorated. This fabulous glass retains its beauty, and still has value (albeit diminished) as a collectible. It will make a great "place holder" in your collection until a better piece comes along, or a lovely decorative accessory for your home, sure to generate discussion.

Thomas Dugan
was Harry Northwood's cousin. The Dugan Glass Company was born when, in 1904, Dugan and his associates bought Harry Northwood's old Indiana, Pennsylvania plant, from which Northwood had moved in 1901. The company changed hands in 1913 to become the Diamond Glass Company and remained thus until the factory burned to the ground in 1931. Diamond Glass continued many Dugan patterns, so attribution is often listed as Dugan/Diamond.
CARNIVAL GLASS
is what we now call IRIDIZED patterned pressed glass introduced by the Fenton Art Glass Company in 1907, and produced by numerous glass makers through the 1930s. Bowls, plates, water sets (pitcher with tumblers), dresser sets (powder box, tray, pin tray, hat pin holder, cologne/perfume), table sets (sugar, creamer, butter, spooner), vases and specialty pieces were given a vivid and colorful appearance by a microscopically thin coating of metal applied as a solution of one or more metallic salts (stannous chloride [tin], iron chloride, lead chloride, et. al.) by hand-spraying the hot-from-the-mold glass. The carrying solution vaporized leaving the metallic salts to bond on a molecular level with the glass, producing a surface that reflected light in a rainbow of colors. Each salt or combination of salts produced a different color, with intensity tied to the thickness of the coating.
