GRAPE & CABLE. Lovely Amethyst Carnival Glass 4" Tumbler in excellent undamaged antique condition. One grape has an ash inclusion. ORTHWOOD CARNIVAL GLASS1908 - 1925ANTIQUE CARNIVAL GLASSGRAPE & CABLELovely Amethyst Carnival Glass 4" Tumbler in excellent undamaged antique condition. One grape has an ash inclusion.Harry 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 happy as an independent producer. His old plant in Indiana, PA, 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.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) . This wear will be mentioned and/or highlighted with its own photo. Issues of wear will be left to your discretion. In my opinion, there are very few pieces of Carnival Glass that don't have an imperfection from production or use, that can't be found with careful inspection.Manufacturing conditions in the early 1900s were dirty and dangerous, and there was no "Quality Control" as we know it now. Production issues from these conditions include: Air bubbles in the glass. Heat checks which are internal rifts filled with air, usually caused by a burst air bubble. Inclusions in or on the surface of the glass, such as ash and cinders. Often found in the flames of vases and rims of bowls were it settled during pressing. Strands of undissolved colorant (usually in green glass). "Straw" marks which are lines in the glass caused by premature solidification where the molten glass was snipped from the gathering rod with cool metal shears. 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. Cooling issues such as uneven legs, slanted stems or a bowed base (causing rocking), surface furrows, and heat checks.Production issues may be undesirable in the extreme, but they do not qualify as "damage" and will be found to some degree on nearly all antique glassware.Combined Shipping is offered for both domestic and international shipments.All items are bubble wrapped.
