Imperial Loganberry Purple Carafe Whimsey


Description

Here's a new purchase from the much-anticipated Loescher auction. It was done by Matthew Wroda Auctions on September 10th, 2022 during the New England Carnival Glass Club's annual convention. This electric purple Loganberry vase, which has been whimsied into a Loganberry carafe, really caught my eye and I just had to have it. How many electric purple Imperial whimsies do you ever see? I will answer that...not very many at all. In fact, we have one other Imperial whimsey that is also electric purple, and that is all of them.

Imperial did the least number of whimsies as compared to the other four big American carnival glass makers. In this pattern there are only three in purple, and two of them are electric. The other whimsies they did are mostly marigold and helios green. So, when I had the chance to get this very rare whimsy, I made the best of it. There is another Loganberry whimsey carafe, but it is not electric.
