Please read about imperial glass history below.

Imperial first began making Carnival Glass in about 1908, although they produced other lines beginning in 1904. They made their first reissues of Carnival in 1962. Imperial issued a catalog called \"66A\" which may refer to the year 1966.Catalog \"66A\"shows pieces made in marigold and smoke which were the only colors made by Imperial in contemporary carnival glass at that time. Most, but not all, items from this period were marked with the well known IG. In 1972 Lenox bought Imperial and continued to produce the Carnival line, adding an L to the IG mark. In 1981 Arthur Lorch purchased the company and added the A to the LIG. In 1982, the company was sold to Robert Stahl. He devised a new mark with a capital \"N\" superimposed over the stylized \"I\", which stood for New Imperial. This mark is only seen on a Santa Bell, which may have been the only item made by \"New Imperial\" as Mr. Stahl declared bankruptcy in 1984. Consequently, most of Imperial\'s molds were sold and came into the hands of other companies, notably Summit Art Glass and then Fenton. Some glass continued to be produced using these Imperial molds; some marked with the new makers mark and some still using the ALIG mark During its manufacturing of contemporary carnival glass, Imperial would introduce a new color as a line of glass and produced that color for a period of years.
