MILLERSBURG CARNIVAL GLASS, HANGING CHERRIES, AMETHYST ICS 10 INCH BOWL, NICE~~~

Description

For auction is a beautiful piece of carnival glass made by the Millersburg Glass Company of Holmes County, Ohio. The shape is a bowl and the pattern is "Hanging Cherries". The bowl is large as it measures 10" in diameter and is 2 5/8" tall. The foot has a diameter of 3 15/16".
This bowl depicts very detailed clusters of hanging cherries from branches and stippled leaves that are realistic with attention to the veining and serrated edges. The piece has 3 sets of hanging cherry cluster. It has a collar base and smooth paneled exterior. The iridescence on this bowl is excellent
as you can see vivid colors of blue, purple fuchsia and gold on the interior.
This is considered
to be a radium finish.
The exterior shows silver iridescence.
The iridescence on this piece is
stunning!!
This bowl is considered to be in excellent condition as there are no cracks, nicks, chips or dings. It has one area on the edge between the scalloped edge is an area with some extra glass and this is pictured.
The mold is crisp and the detail in the leaves is outstanding as you can see stippling and veining. There are some mold imperfections like straw marks but nothing obtrusive. The piece is not signed but the pattern is a well documented Millersburg pattern.
The Millersburg Glass Company began construction in 1908 by John W. Fenton after breaking away from the Fenton Art Glass Company where he and his brothers, Frank and Charles, were partners. He began glass production in May of 1909 however the company filed for bankruptcy in 1911 most likely due to his lack of business experience and remote location. John was noted for his extravagance and attention to detail in his workmanship making Millersburg some of the most desirable carnival glass available. I have also read that Black Cherries were John's favorite fruit and several of the trees planted on the property surrounding the factory. He would sometimes have his workers climb the trees and break off a branch for him to study and work on his patterns.
This bowl was made circa 1909-1911.

I want to apologize for slowing down my shipping time. Ebay forced me into managed payments in July of the year 2020.
I used to get my money in 24 hours. I now get it in 3-4 business days. I was told it would be better for me and my fees would go down. This has been the opposite as my fees have actually increased and now it takes longer for me to receive the payments
. Because of this slowdown I will not ship until the payment has made it into my bank account. No store lets you out of the building with the
merchandise
unless it is paid for.
They are also n
ow charging all sellers a commission of 11.7% on sales tax. Pay Pal used to charge 2.9% payment processing fee but Ebay has changed this to 11.7%. This is an increase of 8.8% on the sales tax portion. They are now making a profit on the sales tax and treating it as a sale which in my eyes is wrong!! They did the same on the shipping charges several years ago. They use to not charge anything and now they are charging 11.7% commission on shipping as well. This has raised the cost to ship items to you, the buyer and this is factored into my shipping charges.
If you feel what Ebay is doing is wrong or you don't agree them please contact Ebay and voice your opinion. Maybe if enough of you do this, they will change their policy.
