Rare Dugan Carnival Glass WHITE 13 x 6 Many Fruits Ruffled Punch Bowl 1911 NR

This is a Rare Dugan Carnival Glass WHITE Many Fruits pattern Ruffled Punch Bowl, 1911 Amazing piece of glass! The annual Pittsburgh Glass Exhibition of 1911 impressed attending glass industry trade journalists with the Dugan display. Surmounting a solid glass pyramid, in one of their rooms are two samples of punch bowls that radiate the colors of the rainbow in peaches, grapes, and other fruits. The high foot of the punch bowl is reversible. That reference indicates that the base can be inverted for use as a compote.

Such dual use could indicate the shortage of these sets in today's world, when compared to some other punch sets. Dugan's white carnival line was introduced in Dec. Wholesale catalog ads seem to confirm that their cobalt blue carnival made its first appearance in early 1912.

If production of this Many Fruits design had just begun at the time of the Feb. 1912 fire, perhaps those molds were destroyed ; thereby explaining the scarcity of these sets. About 5 7/8" tall x 13" wide. No chips or cracks, amazing even Carnival opal finish. This will be double boxed with extra packing and care! What a nice ite m to add to your collection.
