Carnival glass is a type of collectible glass that has an iridescent sheen and comes in an incredible array of colors. It’s pressed or blown and shaped into items such as carnival-glass vases, bottles, bowls, baskets, and plates. It received its name because carnival-glass dishes and glassware were often given out as prizes at carnivals and fairs. Some rare antique patterns are valuable and difficult to find, while other carnival-glass pieces are common and have much lower price points.

You’ll find carnival glass in nearly every color, but some have become more well-known and desirable than others. When you shop on Etsy, you’ll discover carnival glass in these popular shades:


  • Orange: Better known as marigold carnival glass, orange carnival glass is actually clear, but it has a golden-orange hue because of the spray that was applied before the glass cooled.
  • Blue: Blue carnival glass was produced in many different shades, including teal, aqua, and cobalt.
  • Green: Some green carnival glass pieces are bright like limes, while others have a deeper tone that looks like lush grass. Pink: Pale-pink carnival glass might remind you of the fluffy cotton candy at a fair.
