The Story Behind Westmoreland's Carnival Glass

When the Westmoreland Glass Company began producing carnival glass in the early 1910s, they were joining a movement that would define American glassmaking for decades. Their early carnival pieces, with their rich iridescent finishes, are among the most sought-after by collectors today.

Westmoreland's carnival glass production began around 1908-1910, making them one of the earliest producers alongside companies like Fenton, Northwood, and Imperial. Their pieces are distinguished by their unique patterns and exceptional iridescence.
