Finally, there are some exceptionally rare, highly valuable and undeniably splendid pieces that we have not included for various reasons (their country of origin may be currently unconfirmed or they may not fully meet the definition of Carnival Glass).

 

Examples are the fabulous Tropicana and Fir Cone vases; the show-stopping Goddess of Athena epergne (and her sisters, such as the Desert Goddess); the intriguing Tornado Variant vases and the Four Flowers Variant 11” chop plate shown below. All are magnificent, desirable, and tantalizingly mysterious!
