A few carnival glass hand vases (above) were made by the Jain factory in India in the 1930's. These vases are marigold graduated to clear glass. In Hindu iconography the lifted hand protects both the conscious and unconscious order of the creation.
This small Jain carnival hand vase (above) features a wrist watch on the cuff!
Fenton has made a few new hand vases (below) with iridescent finishes that some collectors classify as carnival glass.
