Imperial "Imperial Grape" Emerald Green Carafe


Description

Here is one of our favorite Impeial Grape carafes. Rare? Yes, but not the rarest carafe there is. This Imperial Grape Emerald Green carafe is probably the most desirable and one of the most pricey.

I don't know, and I think that nobody really knows, exactly how many there are of these, but a good guess would be around a dozen or so. In the book "Imperial Carnival Glass" Carl Burns states that the rarest carafe is aqua yet I was at an action and had a chance to buy an amber carafe, which is very rare. It's the only one I or Jim Seeck, auctioneer, had ever heard of but I let it go because it went for what an Emerald green one goes for. It was just an amber one with okay iridescence. Carl Burns doesn't even mention an amber carafe in his book, so go figure.
