Description
Stunning vintage Carnival Glass deviled egg plate in a rare lime green/chartreuse hue. Features a 12-slot scalloped design with a central 'hobnail' or pebbled texture. The iridescent finish provides a vibrant 'oil slick' or rainbow luster that shifts with light.
Key Features
Highly desirable lime green colorway; holds 12 eggs; iridescent finish is very popular in 'Grandmillennial' and Boho decor styles.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The weight, mold seams, and specific iridescent application are consistent with mid-century Indiana Glass production. Authentic carnival glass will have an 'oil slick' luster, not just colored glass.
Flaws to Note
Check the underside of the outer scalloped edges for tiny chips; check for wear or fading in the iridescent coating in the center of the egg wells.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy or eBay are best for vintage glass. Etsy attracts 'home decor' buyers willing to pay a premium for specific colors. Facebook Marketplace for local sales to avoid shipping risks.
Selling Tips
Photograph outdoors in natural light to capture the rainbow iridescence. Use keywords like 'Deposition Glass', 'Iridescent', 'Easter Decor', and 'Chartreuse'. Double-box for shipping to ensure it arrives in one piece.
