This is where the sun or light has actually damaged it by taking some of the color out of the glass. If you are interested in a piece that is less sharp or faded then it is not worth as much. You need to always keep in mind that the colors need to be vibrant and even all over the piece to be considered good.

Yup this is true. I have a great book called " The art of Carnival Glass " and it shows great examples of the colors, fading, etc....and what to look for and what you just dont want.
