Texas Carnival Glass Club President’s Corner

th By Emmett Morgan On June 10 David Kastor hosted our summer meeting in Houston. What a wonderful carnival experience for our members to view, in my opinion, the best collection in Texas. Our meeting was well attended with 20+ members arriving early. After plenty of visiting and viewing David’s fantastic glass, a delicious buffet lunch was hosted by David. Besides nine cabinets of Carnival Glass, I was impressed with his old Fenton and Imperial art glass collection. Seeing the actual pieces in person was very impressive versus pictures in books. I am sure everyone knows the results of the Karen Engel collection auctioned by Jim Wroda Auctions a week after our meeting. The auction total was $1,196,000+ which is the single highest auction record for a Carnival Glass collection. Karen’s auction was great for our hobby, and she will always be missed at the conventions… but never forgotten. My only disappointment is that Dale Matheny (bowls, plates and advertising) and George Thomas (vases) were never given acknowledgement in the fantastic 64-page brochure, as they gifted their collections to Karen. Congratulations to the Jim Wroda Auctions team for their world-record Carnival Glass auction. Dorothy and I missed the Engel auction but will be at the ICGA convention in July. Hope to see many of our members in St. Louis. Have a wonderful summer and may that rare pieceDavid of Kastor carnival proves come that your contemporary way at a pittance design, price. above right, complements vintage Carnival Glass.

Dugan’s Formal pattern comes in two Last but not least … colors, marigold and purple, and only two shapes: a hatpin holder with a curved Dugan Formal in top and a vase with a jack- in-the-pulpit top (pictured). JIP Vase The pattern consists of eight alternating vertical columns of either the Tree of Life pattern or raised ovals that increase in size as they approach the top of the piece. There is a horizontal row of the raised ovals directly above the base. The top of the base is covered in the Tree of Life (also known as Soda Gold) pattern. Prices for these pieces vary based on the shape, color, and iridescence with JIP vases in purple bringing the highest prices at auction. Finding one of these that doesn’t lean can be challenging, so be sure to look at one from all sides if you want one that sits straight. The purple JIP vase pictured came from the 2017 Tampa Bay Carnival Glass Convention auction of the Gary and By Sandy Sage Sharon Vandevander collection.
