The carrying solution vaporized leaving the metallic salts to bond on a molecular level with the glass, producing a surface that reflected light in a rainbow of colors. Each salt or combination of salts produced a different color, with intensity tied to the thickness of the coating. Nearly 150 patterns in Carnival Glass are credited to the Fenton Art Glass Company.

Of the following production issues which are part and parcel of 100 year-old glass. Air bubbles in the glass that were not squeezed out during pressing. Heat checks which are internal rifts filled with air (which is why you can see them), usually from a burst air bubble. Inclusions in or on the surface of the glass, such as ash and cinders. Often found in the flames of vases and rims of bowls where it settled during pressing. Strands of undissolved colorant (usually in green glass).In the glass caused by premature solidification where the molten glass was. Snipped from the gathering rod with cool metal shears when the mould was full; lines also formed on the surface during the cooling process. Tool marks from implements used to form the edge or influence the shape.
Mold issues related to filling and release such as incomplete or malformed edges. Rough seams, extra glass at seams; webbed, incomplete or pulled edge points. Uneven legs, slanted stems or a bowed base (causing rocking), surface lines and heat checks.
