Waffle Block

Waffle Block, Imperial

Carnival glass collectors are partial to representations of flowers, birds, and animals, so the modern-looking Waffle Black design suffers--even though it's a well done pattern with the theme nicely implemented over a pretty wide range of shapes. Above left are a handled basket in marigold and a square bowl in teal. The marigold punch bowl and base are especially dramatic. Hartung Book Three: Waffle Block

Tumblers bring good prices, oftentimes more than realistic patterns. Sherbets, even though more rare, are not valued highly. One wouldn't expect to see the Waffle Block pattern whimsied into a spittoon, but here it is. In marigold, it's 9 1/2 inches wide and 5 inches high. In a private collection.
