Several US companies made "Carnival Glass" and it was also made in England, Sweden and Australia.
Iridescence is produced by sprays and vapours applied to the surface of hot glass after the article is made.
In its heyday, Carnival Glass had many different names, but in the 1950's the name Carnival Glass was ascribed to it by collectors, because a small proportion of this type of glass was given away at Carnivals as prizes. Carnival glass is also still made in the US and South America, mostly for collectors.
