Antique Dugan Flowers and Frames Black Amethyst Carnival Glass Bowl

This is a very scarce Antique Dugan Flowers and Frames Footed Ruffle Bowl made in the early 1900's. I believe the base glass color is black amethyst. Black amethyst is seldom seen or sold. To be true black amethyst you should only be able to see a hint of purple when you hold the glass to a very intense white light, and this bowl with strong light shows no purple at the foot, just around the ruffle area. This is a GORGEOUS ruffled bowl in the Flowers & Frames pattern by DUGAN GLASS! Glass color is SUPER with much golden on this amethyst glass that you can call it electric!This ultra fine piece displays three zones of highlight colors: electric blue, gold and purple iridescent highlights in the center of the bowl with prominent yellow iridescent highlights forming a middle band around the center and an outer ring or purple highlights. The iridescence sizzles in natural light and the pattern details are well defined. The photographs show it fairly well...please look the video and photos over and enjoy.Measurements: 9" W x 8 13/16" D x 3 3/8" H. It is in very good antique condition with some minor loss of the metallic finish. Some straw marks are also present on the underside. The seams are also fairly pronounced as is typical with carnival glass. Normal antique wear for age. Please see all photos and the video provided.
