Description
A "Thistle and Thorn" pattern carnival glass creamer. It features a decorative, pressed glass design known as "Thistle and Thorn," characterized by its floral motifs, rusticated feet, and scalloped rim. The piece is made of carnival glass with a "marigold" (iridescent orange) finish, which gives it a distinctive reflective, rainbow-like sheen. Often found in the United Kingdom, it is widely recognized as one of the most common carnival glass items from that region. While frequently associated with various makers, the exact manufacturer of the "Thistle and Thorn" pattern remains a subject of debate among collectors, as it is often misattributed. It was originally designed as a functional creamer, often appearing as part of a matching set that may include a sugar bowl. 5 inches by 3 inches by 4.5 inches Good condition.
