What is the difference between Indiana glass and carnival glass?
The difference between Indiana glass and carnival glass is that one term describes glassware made by a specific manufacturer, and the other refers to a specific style of glassware. Carnival glass is glassware created by molding or pressing molten glass and then applying an iridescent finish that gives it a shimmering quality. Indiana glass is any glassware made by the Indiana Glass Company. Founded in 1907 in Dunkirk, Indiana, the company produced carnival glass as well as other types of glassware, including pressed, translucent Depression glass and enameled pressed Goofus glass.
