Carnival glass is pressed glass with mineral or metallic salts added during the manufacturing process to create the iridescent rainbow of colors it comes in. Carnival glass gets its name from the fact that it was a common prize at carnivals from around 1907 to 1925. Most iridescent carnival glass was sold in stores, however, despite its name. Carnival glass became popular again in the 1960s and 1970s and was still produced through the 2000s in lower quantities. In the 1950s the trademark IG was introduced and in the 1960s the company began to re-issue some of its old designs in Carnival Glass. Imperial was careful to apply the IG trademark to most of its re-issues of old designs. The metal hooks are an addition for display.
