Season 5
Season 5, Episode 1 (Imperial Windmill’s Intriguing Variant)
The fifth season starts off with a bang (literally) and shows us the MANY different ways to spot the uncommon Imperial Windmill Variant. And speaking of education, maybe it’s time Glass’ assistants get some? Press play and let’s get this season off the ground!
Season 5, Episode 2 (Stippling Revisited)
Stippling can be a difficult thing to understand, especially if a piece has some stippling but is considered the “unstippled” version of the pattern. So what’s the difference? This week, Doctor Glass explains how to tell which one is truly the “stippled” version of the pattern.
Season 5, Episode 3 (Moulded or Blown?)
If carnival glass is moulded, how can it be blown? In this episode, we find out what the brother of the 39th President of the United States and namesake of “Billy Beer” might have to do with our friends as they take on the latest viewer’s question about Carnival Glass.
Season 5, Episode 4 (Number of Persian Medallion Shapes)
So just how many shapes does Persian Medallion come in? Doctor Glass knows the answer. And is giving it the old college try getting out of hand? Tune in and see!
Season 5, Episode 5 (Back Patterns)
Back patterns and front patterns: which do you prefer? Do all carnival pieces eve have a back pattern? In today’s episode, Glass shows you the answer.
Season 5, Episode 6 (Northwood Back Patterns)
This week, Doctor Glass and the crew introduce us to Feng and Shui. Can the tranquility they bring survive the day? And what are some of the common Northwood back patterns? Tune in and find out!
Season 5, Episode 7 (Is it Carnival Glass)
Every new collector as they wander the aisles of antique stores will pick up a piece of pretty glass that catches their eye and will ask themselves, “Is this carnival Glass?” which happens to be this week’s viewer’s question. Season 1, Episode 1 first addressed that question but the good Doctor hopes to expand on that description with additional help for the curious of today. Also, after 4+ seasons, we pretty much know what our host collects, but have you ever wondered what Boris and Tasha may have chosen to collect as a hobby. As we learn what their collections consist of, you may find them to be fairly obvious. Let’s see what fancies their eyes!
Season 5, Episode 8 (What to Expect at an Auction)
Buying a piece of Carnival Glass these days has changed from the auctions of the past. Not only can one go for that favorite piece in person, but through the modern technology we have today, that same piece can be purchased on line for those who are computer savvy. It certainly can be confusing what the cost your purchase may finally total up to be. There are other add-ons to your final bid that you need to be aware of before you write that check. Buyers Premium, Checking Fees, Taxes, Shipping Fees, etc. need to be understood. Let’s take a look at some of what you need to consider before making that winning Bid. Also, Cold season has arrived and what to do for the misery it brings can certainly affect how well one can weather the effects of the symptoms. Some remedies can bring relief, but can some remedies call for a battle between good and evil? Did the Devil make him do it?
Season 5, Episode 9 (Tumble-Up vs. Guest Set)
Thirst can come at the strangest times, especially when one is spending the night at the home of a friend. And how does the host prepare for these midnight dry mouth guests while staying at their home? Do you leave a NIGHT SET (Tumble Up) next their bed or GUEST SET? What’s the difference? Who knows? Maybe the Doctor can help out! Also, have you ever wondered what an old sno-cone machine could be used for? The crew has come up with some innovative ways to divert the use from making tasty summer treats to aiding in the fight against climate change! Can Boris be on to something? Will it save the world? What’s your guess?
Ever wonder if the CARNIVAL GLASS that you’ve accumulated can be used for special occasions or even day-to-day uses for serving meals? What was the original intention of the glass makers as they created these beautiful pieces of dinner ware? Are they Dishwasher Safe? What can I or can’t I do? Also, it’s time to crank up the GWMM! Is there the slightest chance of saving the world from endless sunburn or will we be thrown into the depths of a snowball hell? Put on your heavy coat and mittens and watch.
CARNIVAL GLASS has been around since the early 1900’s, but was it produced and marketed for carnivals, and thus its’ name? Well, No. Then for what reason did the glass companies originally begin producing it? Also, what were the original names used to identify this beautiful subject of our collections? Let’s see! There has been a long and hard-fought battle as to whose Cola Soft Drink is the best tasting. Zillions of dollars have been dedicated to make you one of “The Pepsi Generation” or to make you believe that “Things Go Better With Coke.” The debate rages on at Glass Laboratories and things can get sticky.
Many pieces of glass, as well as Carnival Glass, will have markings on them. Letters, names, symbols, or lack thereof. What do they mean if anything? Can they be used to help determine old glass versus new, makers marks, etc.? With so many different companies and the different time periods Carnival was made, it would be nice to be able to understand the markings on your pieces. The Doctor can help. Also, sometimes people need to make a little extra money to help with supplementing their income for the holiday seasons, birthday presents, etc. In today’s world, there are companies, such as UBER, that one can earn money by being the chauffer of those who need a ride to a destination. Can it help one of the Doctor’s crew? Can the future hold a place for TUBER and has BORIS learned how to drive a Stick? Oh, boy!
In Carnival, there are terms describing pieces of glass that can tell us much about a piece that we might be describing. There are footed bowls, punch bowls, pie crust edge bowls, and on and on describing the shape of a bowl. But what is a “Proof Bowl?” Is it a shape, color, or maybe a pattern? Let’s see what our experts can come up with this time! And there are Tall Tales and there are Tall Tales! Our friend Boris may have the tallest tale of all. His newest job of driving for TUBER may take the prize. How can Tootsie Rolls, stolen money, and a case of liquor lead to such chaos in the streets of Pocahontas, Arkansas? Let’s find out!
Season 5, Episode 14 (Candlestick Holders and Candle Lamps)
In days gone by, when the sun went down, we didn’t always have the pleasure of flipping on the wall light switch to brighten the dark nights. Even now, we can just call out to ALEXA and she’ll do the job for us. “ALEXA, TURN ON THE LIGHTS!” So, back then, only the handy candle broke the darkness for us to avoid the spookiness of a bedroom in an old dark house. To light up our lives, something was needed to hold those candles in strategic places. Carnival Glass producers sought to embellish on their solutions by making iridescent candle stick holders and Candle Lamps. Well, what are the difference between the two and can we see some examples? The team is ready to do just that. We also need to see if The Doctor got his car back in one piece. And, what happens to the case of liquor left in the back seat from the robbery and subsequent chaos in Pocahontas, AK? Does it solve another problem?
Season 5, Episode 15 (Marigold)
I’m sure most everyone has one time or another planted colorful Marigolds in their yard to brighten up the summer landscape. I know, I myself, have also used them as a border to ward of rabbits, those hungry little devils. But to Carnival Glass collectors, Marigold just happens to be one of the most common colors, but also a color that can come in various different shades and combinations. So, what is Marigold? Let’s see! In addition, have you ever wished that something could be done about all those annoying telephone calls that constantly bombard each of us with unwanted and useless offers of free trips to Okefenokee Swamp subdivisions to check out homes for sale, or maybe insurance for your parakeet should a cat find its way into its’ cage. Robo Calls can be infuriating! What can one do? Is there a solution? Maybe!
When first learned that there is a shape that is called a “Sweetmeat,” images of a sugary T-bone steak might come to mind. But, when actually seeing one in person, the T-Bone image is soon replaced by what initially looks like a candy dish. Yet, the Sweetmeat and the Candy Dish are different. What features can help you tell them apart? Rivalries have often led to ugly confrontations. One such rivalry surfaced several seasons ago between a man called “Mr. Ping” and our good Dr. Glass. Can the Christmas Season, a season of Peace and Good Will, take hold and end the long running dispute on what form of collectable glass is best? Hope springs eternal!
Season 5, Episode 17 (Fruit Bowls)
New Year’s Day, 2020 begins the season of college football Bowl games. Football fans will have a plethora of grid iron contests to pick the winners and losers. With names such as the Orange Bowl, the Peach Bowl, the Citrus Bowl, and the Tangerine Bowl, one might consider these match-ups as the Fruit Bowls of College Football. It just so happens that the world of Carnival Glass has its own Fruit Bowl. What are these shapes that we consider to be Fruit Bowls and what characteristics can we look for? We also learn this week that detent between the two waring glass collectors may be closer than ever as Tasha is sent to work out the terms the peace agreement. Will her negotiations bear fruit?
Season 5, Episode 18 (Table Set vs. Breakfast Set)
Have you ever wondered which pieces of Carnival were designed to be used when you set your table for when the in-laws drop by for breakfast, brunch, or dinner? You want to impress them with your settings but you can’t decide whether to bring out the Table Set or the Breakfast set. Does it even make a difference? What makes up each of these types of settings? Let’s take a look. Also, does the fact that Tasha is late from her meeting to set up the summit between Glass and Ping mean anything? Will detent be stalled? And, are there any great motels in Waxahachie, TX? Watch and find out!
Season 5, Episode 19 (Peacock and Bee)
“To Bee, or not to bee! That is the question” may be slightly different than a famous line from Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, but how might it apply to Carnival Glass? Is there some secret code that needs to be understood to be able to identify patterns or even makers of a particular well-known treasure among collectors? Secret Code? Might the answers be found in the details? Finally, two arch enemies will meet to bury the hatchet. “No, Boris! Not that kind of hatchet!” Will the media make their way to Waxahachie, TX to record this epic event? Does anyone even know where Waxahachie, TX is? Will the flashing lights of the paparazzi blind the good Doctor and Mr. Ping like a deer in the headlights? Let’s go to the Red Roof Inn now!
Season 5, Episode 20 (Full Circle)
This week’s episode brings us full circle to the first question asked and answered 5 years ago on the first episode of Dr. Glass. Although that answer was pointed toward the actual physical being of a piece of Carnival Glass, Shape, Pattern, and color, it failed to point out all the other more ethereal factors that draw collectors to Carnival. Can there be anything more than the beautiful iridescence of the pieces themselves? It just so happens there is more. You may already be enjoying them at this moment! Let’s see. Also, after five seasons and 100 episodes, it’s time to learn about how Dr. Glass started. To what purpose was the series to serve, how can we make it educational for the new collector, can we promote the various clubs and groups out there, and how can we make it entertaining at the same time? All to be wrapped into one vehicle that could be produced and offered to the HOC viewers. Every story has a beginning. Let’s see what ours is!
Season 4
Season 4, Episode 1 (What are 3 very important things to consider when purchasing carnival glass?)
The season has started with a toughie: what kinds of things will Dr. CG Glass give us for pointers when purchasing carnival glass? One for the money, two for the show and three to get ready?? Let’s GO!
Season 4, Episode 2 (What is ‘electric’ colored carnival glass?)
When someone calls a piece of carnival glass ‘electric’ something, what do they mean? And how well is online dating working for Dr. Glass’ mother-in-law? Are all things relative?
Season 4, Episode 3 (How much glass is too much glass?)
Can there ever be too much of a good thing? Can you really have too much money, good wine, chocolate or carnival glass? We hope this episode won’t have you snoring….
Season 4, Episode 4 (How light is light blue, light marigold, etc.?)
We hope to find out from the good Doctor what constitutes ‘light’ when added to a carnival glass color – it would be nice if he could add some ‘light’ to the subject. And Boris’ snoring has become a major problem – not just for him. Is there an easy (and cheap) solution?
Season 4, Episode 5 (What are some of the ‘old’ patterns in carnival glass that have been reproduced/copied?)
Is there any way to find out which patterns in carnival glass have been reissued, have been created as new patterns or even those that are faked? A comprehensive list can be found here: Contemporary carnival glass list
Season 4, Episode 6 (What is the difference between carnival glass and stretch glass?)
Our Doctor needs to Stretch his knowledge to answer one collector’s question. Can he do it? Also, something a little fishy may come to be a giant help in raising Tasha’s spirits! Let’s see what that might be!
Season 4, Episode 7 (Did Indiana Glass make any carnival glass of monetary value?)
The Doctor hopes to take on the question as to whether Indiana Glass can be considered a valuable collectable. What are your thoughts? Can questions like this place the Doctor in shark infested waters? You can never tell what floats through his mind!
Season 4, Episode 8 (When did Fenton make carnival glass?)
This weeks Dr. Glass is all about history. And who doesn’t like history? Think back to the glory days of Hollywood and the filming of all those great old pictures. The days where a director barked out commands from a canvas chair into a cone like megaphone like “Role ’em” or “Cut” and the thankless job of some poor sole who had to keep track of what was going on. Classic history! As is the history of Fenton Carnival Glass. When was their “hey day” of producing this beautiful product for our pleasure. And have they made additional pieces since those beginning days? The Doctor hopes to bring up that history as well to answer your questions.
Season 4, Episode 9 (What’s up with Northwood and green pigment streaks?)
Have you ever washed your clothes and didn’t realize that you left a pen in your pocket? Pretty annoying to find green ink streaks on your favorite shirt when you remove it from the washer, isn’t it? Well, I don’t think that one would dare wash your Carnival Glass in a washer along a green ink pen tumbling around with it at the same time. So, how do green pigment streaks show up on Northwood’s Green and Ice Green pieces of Carnival glass? Let’s see if the Doctor can help us out. Also, when the worker’s contract includes a snack break, what might the favorite breaktime snack for the Doctor’s help consist of? Mmmmm! Yum!
Season 4, Episode 10 (Here’s some geometric European carnival glass for your enjoyment.)
Geometric patterns, anyone? – Dr Glass looks at some vintage European patterns in this episode. Here’s a direction you may not have realized existed….speaking of directions, could Dr Glass be the first person to take carnival glass into outer space? We shall see!
Season 4, Episode 11 (Here’s more European carnival glass for your enjoyment.)
This week’s episode of Dr. Glass continues answering last week’s great question concerning European Carnival Glass. From what additional countries can we expect to find beautiful examples of Carnival? Let’s see what he comes up with this week. Also, Can it true? Will the Doctor be sent out of this world on a Russian launch vehicle to broadcast from space? Did Svetlana exercise her special charms with Vladimir to ensure a few orbits for C.G. Looks like there may be a new “Rocket Man” in the news soon.
Season 4, Episode 12 (What are the shades of blue in carnival glass?)
Space, the Final Frontier. This is the voyage of a brave soul on a mission to seek out answers to the unknown. To boldly go where no Glass has gone before.
Doctor’s Log: Star Date 11-28-2018: Elaine Blair seeks the answer to “What are the shades of Blue in Carnival Glass”?
Problem: Not an easy answer with such a short time in space.
Solution: The only “logical answer” is to approach that great question partially from space and once again upon return to earth, Star Dates 12-5-2018 and 12-12-2018.
Problem Resolved. Boris, Tasha, Beam me up!
Season 4, Episode 13 (Shades of blue in carnival glass part two)
This week the Doctor continues to take on last weeks question about all the shades of blue in Carnival Glass. A daunting job that needs more than just one episode to sufficiently answer. This week will be the second in the series on Blue, so let’s keep those “Blues” a comin’! We also might add a new shade of blue. A shade that might be called “Black and Blue.” That shade which looks like the color of bumps and bruises a person might experience in a rough ground landing in Russia after a week in space. Yet, whatever goes up, must come down! So, let’s get “down” to business once again on good old Terra Firma. Rocket Man take it away.
Season 4, Episode 14 (Shades of blue in carnival glass part three)
It’s appropriate that the third in a series of Dr. Glass episodes attempting to describe the many shades of Blue in Carnival Glass be aired during the Christmas Blue theme of December’s Mailing List. After viewing these several episodes of Dr. Glass, it may be fun to take a Gander at the posting of collectors that have sent in pictures of their Blue Carnival Glass to the Mailing List. This may give you a better idea of the variety of Blue pieces that have been produced. Speaking of taking a “Gander,” can a person be made to “quack” like a duck or bark like a dog? What would it take to influence the good Doctor to do such outrageous things, especially on the air? Tasha and Boris know!
Season 4, Episode 15 (Shades of blue in carnival glass part four)
It’s official: Doctor Glass is quackers (or crackers or crazy). But don’t take our word for it – just watch him talking about more of the blues and you’ll see what we mean. Oh yes, one more thing-it’s time for another free mug contest! Just be the first and second persons to answer the question he asks and you will be shipped a mug with his mug on it. How cool is that?
Season 4, Episode 16 (Shades of blue in carnival glass part five)
We are getting close to the end of the series of episodes answering the question “What are the shades of Blue in Carnival Glass.” As a great exercise, you might review episodes 12-15 and use that information to go back and compare it to the many beautiful pieces of Blue Carnival out there. It would be a fun challenge to see if you now have an eye for the Blues! In this episode, it’s been a week since we left the Glass Lab and when we left, it sounded more like a farm due to Tasha’s hypnotic efforts. Will they still be under her spell? And even more important, have they been fed over the last 7 days? Let’s find out.
Season 4, Episode 17 (The many patterns with Peacocks – with Annie)
This week’s episode of Dr. Glass introduces a new personality to our viewers. Annie of Annie’s Antiques helps the good doctor explain how to “Figure out this Peacock thing”, a question that will take several episodes to sufficiently answer. We’re sure her extensive knowledge will be a plus in helping our viewers.
Season 4, Episode 18 (The many patterns with Peacocks part 2)
This week the good Doctor continues his lesson pertaining to the great question, “Help, I can’t figure out the Peacock!” William Shakespeare can give us a clue to help out when he wrote, “To Bee or not to Bee. That is the question!” Well. Not quite those words from Hamlet’s mouth, but it helps. Let’s see how? If you had read Hamlet, you may have read many other of the Classic books in your lifetime. Maybe you belong to a book club that reads a new book every month. What would your reading wish list be and how might it compare to that of our crew? Hmm, might be revealing. Let’s see!
Season 4, Episode 19 (The many patterns with Peacocks part 3: Millersburg)
Tonight, we once again take on the Tale of the Peacock. Who would have thought that there was so much to learn about this beautiful pattern of Carnival Glass? Let’s hope the good Doctor can wrap up the secrets to the Peacock patterns before the end of season 4. We don’t want one of those crazy TV treasure “Cliff Hangers” that make viewers wait months to find out if there’s “Gold in Them Thar Hills!” Speaking of gold and treasure, can there be some secret surrounding the location of Glass Laboratories? Does Boris have a clue? That can certainly be debatable. Let’s find out what fortunes may be in store for our crew.
Season 4, Episode 20 (The many patterns with Peacocks part 4: No Bee)
Lots going on in the season 4 finale of Dr. Glass. The good doctor will CAP off this EARTHSHAKING season by finishing up the question, “Help, I can’t figure out this Peacock thing!” Using the Peacock patterns as described by Ron Britt in his booklet “Birds of a Feather” he hopes to put that question along with season 4 to rest.
