TULIP and CANE Nappy: One of the earlier Imperial designs, this single-handled 5” nappy in marigold is listed in a 1909 catalog ad. Written accounts list a dome footed bowl known in marigold and smoke, along with an 8 oz. goblet and a 4 oz. claret in marigold. A 3 oz. and 1 ½ oz. wine and wine cordial in marigold are also known. These older versions are not often seen in today’s world. Marked with the IG trademark, the 8 oz. goblet was reproduced in 1970 in a color named Aurora Jewels.
Star Medallion celery vase - Marigold.
STAR MEDALLION Celery Vase: These celery vases are very scarce in any of the three known colors: clambroth, marigold or smoke. They virtually never appear in carnival glass auctions.

ETCHED LUSTRE: This line of vases from Imperial Glass is actually part of their Lead Lustre assortments. Floral and stylized designs are available in very delicate detail.

Shapes and etchings vary in these 6”- 12” vases. Colors known are marigold, smoke and clambroth. Nuruby, Sapphire and Peacock are color names listed in factory catalogs.
DIAMOND LACE Tumbler in (rare) marigold.
DIAMOND LACE Tumbler: Only three of these marigold tumblers have sold at auction over the past 10 years. The one perfect example brought more than $1,000. There is no known pitcher in marigold. A whimsied tumbler shaped into a rosebowl is known in marigold.

Dean & Diane Fry, 2/14
A Good Servant of Jesus Christ
If you instruct the brethren in these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ,
nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully followed.
But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness.
For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things,
Having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.
For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach,
Because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men,
Especially of those who believe. These things command and teach.
(1 Timothy 4:6-11)
