Post by: OLDZ06 on February 27, 2010, 02:41:02 PM: I have looked thru my book with no luck and also checked out most internet sites. Leaf Chain,Blackberries,Clambroth color ? There are to many to choose from. Im no expert with carnival glass.

Post by: OLDZ06 on February 27, 2010, 08:20:22 PM: Yep thats it . Thanks ! Now my book does not list this one. The only one in my book is a leaf chain only and no white listed. I wonder if white was made less in this pattern. I hope,lol. Im searching now. Carnival glass and like many other old collectables have dropped pretty good in value unless its rare. Thanks again.

That is definitely the case, with just water sets alone . some 26 different patterns in white Carnival compared with 14 in green and 12 in cobalt blue.
So use caution not all white in all patterns is more valuable.
