Imperial Pansy Marigold 5 1/2″ Nappy Dish Antique Carnival Glass

Description

Antique Imperial Marigold Nappy Dish in the Pansy pattern. Pansy has a straightforward design with a group of the flowers in the center and the stems extending out toward the edge in bowls (with Arcs back pattern), plates, nappies and pickle dishes. This particular pattern and color dates production of this piece as early as 1910's to 1920's.
This Bowl is about 2 1/4" tall and 5 1/2" wide. It has no chips or cracks that I can see, however there are a couple of minor scratches due to age and use.
The Imperial Glass Company was founded in 1901 by Edward Muhleman, with production beginning in 1904. The handmade glasswares were sold worldwide and were usually made of pressed glass patterns. The factory located at 29th Street was labeled as one of the largest glass factories under one roof. The company hit rough times in the early 1970s and was close to bankruptcy. Imperial was saved by Lenox and turned to general manufacture, but low demand eventually led to its closure in 1984.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, I accept most reasonable offers.
