a friend brought these to me today. i know nothing about carnival glass! should i pay attention to any of these ones? there's a clar's auction sticker on the back of the one with the swan on it. are these any good or what?
Beautiful!!!! Need to see photos of the bottoms of each of them. I think the one on the upper right might be made by Dugan Glass, which would make it an oldie.

showing the bottoms might help. ditto on the Australian Swan. The Grape and Cable was made by both Northwood and Fenton; this this may be Fenton. The Wreathed Cherry was made by Dugan and later by Fenton for Wright.
The best website for researching old carnival glass is on Dave Doty's website. Here is his entry for Australian carnival glass: http://www.ddoty.com/austswan.html
TallCakes already ID'd all the patterns, you can check them on the above website as well.
thank you Efes, TallCakes and circa1860! i'll post the bottoms soon.
