Antique Millersburg Trout and Fly Marigold Radium Finish Carnival Glass Bowl

Millersburg Trout & Fly Marigold Bowl  

 

🔔 DESCRIPTION

Experience early 20th-century American craftsmanship with this stunning Antique Millersburg "Trout and Fly" Radium Finish Carnival Glass Bowl.

Produced circa 1909–1911 by the short-lived Millersburg Glass Company, this highly collectible masterpiece showcases an exquisitely detailed trout leaping toward a fly in a rushing stream, encircled by a relief pattern of lush wild roses and delicate foliage.

What sets this specific piece apart is its spectacular, sought-after Radium finish. Unlike standard satin carnival glass, Millersburg’s famous radium spray creates a mirror-like, high-gloss shine that throws intense, electric multi-color highlights. The striking marigold iridescence captures the light dynamically, shifting beautifully across an orange-gold gradient with radiant pink, copper, vivid gold, and soft green undertones. Finishing off this pictorial design is a pronounced ruffled, crimped edge that gives it an elegant, wave-like aesthetic.

Whether you are looking to elevate your antique glass display or search for a standout centerpiece for a rustic farmhouse table, this rare figural bowl makes a breathtaking statement.

The Radium finish remains bright, fiery, and highly reflective across the central trout motif and surrounding floral pattern.
