Celeste Blue Carnival Glass

Celeste blue Carnival Glass often has a stretchy appearance. This is caused by re-heating and/or re-shaping after the iridescent spray has been applied. You can see the typical "onion skin" stretch effect on the Grape & Cable bowl (Fenton) below, right. The close up shows it very well indeed.

Not all celeste blue has this stretch effect, some has a shiny or more radium like iridescence, but the ones shown in this feature are all stretchy.
