Iridescent Amber Glass Bowl

The object is a carnival glass bowl in a marigold or amber iridescent color.  Carnival glass is known for its distinctive rainbow-like, iridescent sheen, created by a metallic salt coating applied during manufacturing.  The style was first introduced in the United States by the Fenton Art Glass Company in 1907, with other manufacturers quickly following suit.  The "classic" period for carnival glass collecting typically refers to pieces made between 1907 and around 1925.  Common manufacturers of antique carnival glass include Fenton, Imperial, Northwood, and Dugan.  .
