BEADED BASKET in Lime Green - Afterglow
BEADED BASKET in Lime Green - Afterglow

BEADED BASKET: Aqua and Pink baskets and also the lime green baskets are no doubt iridized examples of the Afterglow line, which dates from 1928- 1929, into the early 1930s.

WINDFLOWER: Rarely found in other than marigold examples, whether it be bowl, plate, or single handled nappy, there is at least one bowl known in marigold overlay to vaseline base glass.

FLORAL and WHEAT Exterior /PUZZLE: Cerulean or celeste blue has been reported in this footed bonbon, and certainly that would be rare enough as a “find”, but equally rare are the very few known examples in basic pink afterglow.

 
PONY Bowl in Ice Green - or - Afterglow--that is the question.

PONY: Purported to have been one of the last iridescent production patterns from Diamond. This specimen in green is a “gem”!

SEAGULL in Afterglow
Green - not iridized.

SEAGULL:  Although this pattern may not be included in the annals of carnival glass per se', there can be no doubt that it has been cast aside in grave error, for with the advent of  this iridized pink Afterglow example, it is a confirmed participant within the circle of carnival glass. The majority of the green Seagull bowls we have seen are not iridized.

STORK in RUSHES Pitcher & Tumbler: Notice that both the Beaded and the Lattice Band versions of this pattern are represented in lime green base glass. Not mentioned in most circles as being part of the Afterglow line, these examples are proof enough.

 
This 7 in TRIPLETS Bowl glows wildly. Mold strike is terrific.

Mold strike is terrific.
7 in. TRIPLETS Bowl - Has light iridescence

TRIPLETS:  These rather scarce bowls with the pattern on the exterior surface were apparently produced through the conventional carnival glass era and briefly into the latter years of Afterglow treatment. Though somewhat weak, the iridescence is certainly visible.

TARGET Vase in Peach Opal Vaseline.Vaseline is said to have been produced by Diamond only during their last couple of years in production.

TARGET:  We have owned this vase for many years, at varying times calling it lime green opalescent, vaseline opalescent, and now we include it in this segment with good reason as well. It GLOWS! Upon discovering the ad from Baltimore Bargain House to include this pattern in the Afterglow series, we suspect we have finally arrived at the proper conclusion. According to that old cliché': “It's ours; we can call it whatever we like!” The Afterglow line claims it. What do you think?                         

Dean & Diane Fry - 03-09


We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.
For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written,
“The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.”
For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another,
According to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God.
