Wondering if it's correct to say this item is carnival glass?
I've done a little bit of research, but I want to find out more and make sure I have correct info.
I bought it from an older woman who said glass like this was very popular when she was growing up.

1970's Westmoreland I think is the maker. This is not carnival glass - this is Forrest green. Take a look under Glass Hound Heaven to see actual Carnival glass pieces. There are both old and new that fall under the name "carnival".

did she grow up in the 1960-70's?
These were reproduced by Indiana Glass in the 1970's heavley in many colors, I remember when we stopped at the factory showroom/outlet center.

My guess is the woman who sold it to me is in her late early to mid-70s. I don't know when she bought it.
She just remembers this type of glass being very popular when she was younger.

It's also interesting 'cos I went the Indiana Glass website. They have a picture similar to mine and yet (if I read it correctly) they call it carnival glass.
It gets very confusing.
At one time I tried to educate myself on depression glass, but after awhile my head just spins.

you can call anything what you want to when selling it if you can get away with it.

just like depression glass, real depression era glass, or stuff that kinda looks like it, to just colored glass

Hmmm.
I don't want to get away calling it 'carnival' even if I could get away calling it as such.
I'll go with Indiana Glass.
