Ronald and Robert Hansen were brothers who mainly iridized glass made by other glass companies. Beginning in the 1960s, they developed techniques that gave their glass some of most lustrous surfaces found in Carnival Glass. Their signatures are hand etched into the base rather than molded in, although not all pieces will have either signature.
