Beautiful Purple Carnival Glass 11" x 5" Footed GRAPE & CABLE Fruit Bowl by Northwood, in excellent undamaged antique condition. There is some minor wear on the interior. ORTHWOODCARNIVAL GLASS1908 - 1925ANTIQUE CARNIVAL GLASSHarry Northwood formed The Northwood Glass Company in Martin's Ferry, Ohio, in 1888. In 1892 the firm relocated to Ellwood City, PA, and then moved again to Indiana, Pennsylvania, in 1896. In 1901, unhappy with being a member of the National Glass Combine, Northwood severed his ties with National, bought the old Hobbs, Brockunier plant in Wheeling, West Virginia, and was back to being an independent producer. His old plant in Indiana, PA, was purchased by his cousin Thomas Dugan and became the Dugan Glass Company. Northwood began producing iridized glassware circa 1908. He was the only glass maker to use the Pie Crust Edge (PCE) on his Carnival Glass bowls, and was one of the few to use an embossed trademark. Unfortunately, the application of his trademark was an inconsistent process, so about half of Northwood's glass left the factory unmarked. Don't depend solely on the presence of a trademark for authenticity; learn the patterns and learn which ones were reproduced, so that you don't pass over many wonderful pieces that aren't trademarked or, waste your money on a reproduction or fake.Beautiful Purple Carnival Glass 11" x 5" Footed GRAPE & CABLE Fruit Bowl by Northwood, in excellent undamaged antique condition.There is some minor wear on the interior.CARNIVAL GLASS is what we now call the IRIDIZED patterned pressed glassware first introduced by the Fenton Art Glass Company in 1907; the Fenton process was adopted by numerous glass makers, and iridized glassware was produced through the mid-1930s. Bowls, plates, water sets (pitcher with tumblers), dresser sets (powder box, tray, pin tray, hat pin holder, cologne/perfume), table sets (sugar, creamer, butter, spooner), vases and specialty pieces were given a vivid and colorful appearance by a microscopically thin coating of metal applied as a solution of one or more metallic salts (stannous chloride [tin], iron chloride, lead chloride, et. al.) by hand-spraying the hot-from-the-mold glass. The carrying solution vaporized leaving the metallic salts to bond on a molecular level with the glass, producing a surface that reflected light in a rainbow of colors. Each salt or combination of salts produced a different color, with intensity tied to the thickness of the coating. EXCELLENT UNDAMAGED ANTIQUE CONDITION means that while a listed item has no post-production damage such as chips or cracks, it may have discernible minor wear from usage and/or nesting (stacking) and, since production conditions in the early 1900s were dirty and dangerous and there was no "Quality Control" as we now know it, any number of the following production issues: Air bubbles in the glass that were not squeezed out during pressing. Heat checks which are internal rifts filled with air (which is why you can see them), usually from a burst air bubble. Inclusions such as ash or cinders in or on the surface of the glass. Inclusions are most often found in the flames of vases and rims of bowls were debris settled during pressing or where the item was brushed against a dirty surface. Strands of undissolved colorant (usually in green glass). Straw marks which are lines in the glass caused by the premature hardening of molten glass when snipped from the gathering rod by cool metal shears when the mold was full. Cooling lines and rim splits formed on the surface and rim during the cooling process. Tool marks from implements used to form the edge or influence the shape. Mold issues related to filling and release such as incomplete or malformed edges, rough seams, extra glass at seams; webbed, incomplete or pulled edge points.Production issues do not qualify as "damage" and will be found to some degree on nearly all antique glassware. Extreme production issues and major wear will be noted.Combined Shipping is offered for both domestic and international s... read more
