To Launch our first Collection we will be displaying a collection of Marigold Carnival Glass by Maureen Whyte.

Maureen started collecting many years ago and just liked the Marigold colour range of glass ware. I bet your Nana or Aunty has a piece in a China cabinet. It was a very common form of glassware and was made all over the world and was seen as a cheaper version of Tiffany glassware and was often given out as prizes at carnivals or was even mail
ordered by housewives who wanted to brighten up their homes.

The range that is Uniquely
Australian carnival glass has Australian motifs such as the Kangaroo, Emu, Swan, Kingfisher, Magpie and Kookaburra imprinted in it surrounded by native gum leaves or wattle. Made by
Australian Crystal Glass Ltd from 1920’s through till 1930’s.

Come and find out more and enjoy a loved collection that will be on display for a limited time only (8-12 weeks) until we find the next collector!
