NOTE:
During the 1970s Indiana Glass, Dunkirk, Indiana, launched their Contemporary Carnival Glass ranges in distinctive colors, patterns and shapes that are familiar to most collectors. Production continued through the 1970s and into the very early 1980s.
​ Indiana Carnival Glass first appeared in local Safeway stores in 1970 and “at that time it was really cheap, all the major drugstores had a big line.” In the 1980s it was being sold in Thriftway grocery stores. Indiana's first color was “Iridescent Blue” in 1971, followed by “Iridescent Gold”. They were followed by “Iridescent Sunset” (red to amberina), “Iridescent Green” and finally in 1974, “Iridescent Amethyst”.
Heirloom is a near-cut geometric pattern that can confuse collectors into thinking it is Classic Carnival Glass - however the Heirloom pattern was not made in Classic Carnival Glass. Heirloom is an old Indiana Glass near-cut geometric pattern, originally from the 1900s when it was made in a range of crystal, non-iridized tableware shapes. It was known simply as the “123 Pattern”. ​ ​
