Goofus glass was produced primarily in the United States between 1890 and 1920, with peak production occurring in the early 1900s. This pressed glass was decorated with cold-painted designs in metallic gold and vibrant colors, typically featuring floral motifs like carnations, roses, and poppies. Goofus glass pieces are highly sought after by collectors of American pressed glass and early 20th-century decorative arts. The appeal lies in their nostalgic charm, bold color combinations, and the historical significance of representing an era when mass-produced decorative items became widely available to average households. Collectors particularly value pieces with well-preserved original paint, as the cold-paint technique was notoriously fragile and prone to flaking over time. This plate, featuring the classic carnation motif with scalloped edges and intact gold and red decoration, would appeal to Goofus glass specialists, American glass collectors, and enthusiasts of Victorian and Edwardian-era decorative arts who appreciate the craftsmanship and cultural history of affordable luxury items from the turn of the 20th century. Please note this plate does show understandable wear due to age and use. Most notable- There's some paint loss at the center.
