green glass fruit bowl with rainbow in glass

[starbase89]

I picked this bowl up at an estate sale. Its green-tinted glass fruit bowl, with a fruit pattern popping out of the outside of the bottom. It also has a look to it, similar to spilled oil on a wet driveway, with a rainbow of colors in the glass when it is hit with the right light. I don't see any maker's marks. Can anyone tell me something about my bowl, including possibly an idea of its value?

Thanks
Joe

Green Carnival Glass, I think it is Anchor Hockings.  Chance that is fenton, but looks like the green of Anchor.  I will have to look a bit.  Nice piece.  As for value.  You can start at $50.00, maybe slight less if it is Anchor, and lots more if Fenton.

Found it in my Millersburg the queen of Carnival glass book.  I'm pretty sure.  If you can get a better pic of the pattern, I can be sure.  Or just look up Holly Sprig variant Fenton.  I will peak around a bit more, but looks like you have a nice winner here.

Here are some more pictures of it.

      O.k. Pretty sure it is a Garland Center Bowl by Indiana Glass.  Have found several on Ebay range from $20.00 to $40.00 with shipping cost.  Seems it is really a cool item but lots of them out there.  Did only find one Green one that may say something.   I have not chased down the pattern date yet, but would make a fair bet that this pattern was made for many years.

O.K.  Starbase found somthing even more intresting and does effect value I sure.

It Quotes

This Oval Center Bowl is probably one of the most well known glass items in the history of 20th Century glass. Indiana Glass made this center bowl for about 70 years.  It was made in a wide variety of different colors and often associated with the Harvest pattern.  If you own one of these (and half of America does), shhhhhhhhh, don't break it's little glass heart.  Don't tell the poor thing it is not part of the Harvest pattern. But just between you and me, it is NOT Harvest, it is GARLAND

I wasa thinking ...... that doesn't look like old or new Carnival glass to me.

I was 15 years old in 1971 when Indiana Glass introduced their blue carnival Harvest line

And there is a ton of Indiana blue out there.

But now the best new Carnival out there is made by L. E. Smith, to wit:
