<p>This is a very useful  website on carnival glass identification.  Since most pieces weren&#39;t marked, it is very difficult to determine origin, which makes a big difference in pricing.</p><p><a href="http://antiques.about.com/od/onlinepriceguides/ig/Carnival-Glass-Price-… have a few pieces of Bavarian glass, which I prefer.  I do have a serving tray by Nova Studio (the crystal division of Makasa), altho clear with the frosted raised pattern, your rose pattern is remarkably similar to my piece.  The closest I have seen yet.  I am certain of the origins of my piece (Macy&#39;s sells Nova Studio and Makasa).</p><p>A recent book I recently read, stated that the most valuable unmarked carnival glass pieces are those with unusual shapes and coloring.  </p>

<p>There are very few pieces of carnival glass sell for $3500.00 these days as values are in decline for Carnival glass. Yours looks like a  Lustre Rose ferneries bowl by Imperial , but it&#39;s very hard to tell from an image. Most of them sell for less than $100.00, see link for all things Carnival below </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p> http://www.ddoty.com/lustrerose.html</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lovejoy </p>

<p>Thank you so much. I&#39;ve had this listed since May 11 and no one had commented until now. It was my Grandmothers and I love it but my daughter thinks I should get rid of everything because she doesn&#39;t want to have to deal with it once I&#39;m gone. Which I don&#39;t plan to do for a number of years yet. </p><p> I think I will just keep it if it&#39;s only worth so little, but I will check out the links sent because I&#39;m interested in antiques. </p><p>Thank you again. </p><p>deedodge</p>
