A Britt Tip...
|
 To the right is a marigold 474 cordial: a very rare item indeed. This Imperial piece is seen in many shapes, but this particular tiny one isn't common at all. 474 is clear glass in a cut pattern, but has the marigold iridescence applied at the top. This cordial is significantly smaller than the more common wine (see below), about half the size. In fact, this piece is a very small piece of carnival glass anyway, but don't let size fool you!
 The value of this piece may be startling to some, due to its size. "Ounce for ounce, this cordial is more valuable than a Farmyard bowl," explains John Britt. "If any of you should see one of these, buy it! The prices are going up fast on this item." You may be lucky to find one in an antique mall with a $20 - $30 price tag on it. If so, snatch it up! It's true value clocks in higher than $500 in most cases.

This Classic Arts powder bowl (left) is a rare beauty from the former Czechoslovakia. Notice the figures in pewter? This green geometric piece (center) looks like Hobstar Flower, but I'm not sure. Boy, isn't this perfume (right) kind of neat?
   Embroidered Mums in sapphire blue (left) is a fun one to find. This particular piece has a heavy marigold overlay. The Scandinavian Four Flowers Variant (center) chop plate is always a beauty! Imperial rose bowls like this one (right) are always a hot item.
   Electric blue Good Luck bowls with a pie crust edge (left) are always in demand. Cute butter dish (center). Can you guess the color of this Peacocks bowl (right)? Here's a hint: it is NOT marigold.
   The Four Flowers Variant in Amber (left) is always a toughy! Garden Path Variant chop plates (center) are also hard to find. Some have brought 5 figures. And what would an auction be without a Rose Show plate (right)?
