Can anyone tell me anything about this bowl, it is 7 and a half inches across, totally smooth on the inside and patterned on the outside.

I didn't realize that there are over 2000 patterns of this glass, unfortunately Ive noticed a very small chip and crack in my piece so I expect it's now worthless. (I'll look more closely next time).
Thanks all for the info'.

The peacock design is really pretty on this. I have a few pieces of orange carnival glass, I prefer the purple ones but they cost more.

Imperial Windmill design, Orange Lustre Carnival Glass - 1960

A fairly common pattern. The double windmill is the one to look out for, where there is another, smaller, windmill in the background.
