The glorious piece pictured above is typical of the amazing artworks produced from glass by many notable artists. "Cascade," as the piece is named, was designed by Sergio Redegalli, and this sculpture has 500 precision cut pieces of 6mm clear glass glued to the shape of a cascading wave. It is located in the Adelaide Botanical Garden in Australia.

Here is some Carnaval Glass
What is Carnival Glass?
This is a question that confuses many people new to collecting Carnival. Primarily, Carnival Glass is pressed glass that has had an iridescent coating applied.
Remember, if it isn't iridized, it isn't Carnival.

Here are more samples:

This type of glass has become collectable and expensive.
