Description
Dugan Glass Company's Fishscale and Beads pattern is among the most distinctive early American carnival glass designs, and this marigold ruffled bowl presents it in a form that rewards close inspection. The warm orange amber iridescence, crimped scalloped rim and scale-like moulded panels combine to create a piece with strong pattern attribution and genuine collector appeal.
The Fishscale and Beads pattern is associated with Dugan Glass Company of Indiana, Pennsylvania, dating to the early 20th century with circa 1909 as careful catalogue wording. The scale-like moulded side panels, bead detail and moulded starburst base are characteristic of Dugan's early production period. This is a stronger identification than a generic carnival-style pressed glass description, and the piece sits naturally alongside other early American carnival glass examples in the Carnival Glass collection.
