Goofus glass is a type of pressed glass that was made in the United States between 1897 and 1920. It was decorated with cold, unfired enamel paint in bright colors, often including gold, red, and green, and was known for being affordable. However, the paint was not fired, so it was prone to chipping and coming off, which is where the glass gets its name. Goofus glass was originally sold under the names Oriental Art, Egyptian Art, or Golden Art, and was often given as a premium at carnivals, medicine shows, and movie houses.
