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 leased his Indiana, Pennsylvania plant to his cousin Thomas Dugan, 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. Northwood was the only glass maker to use the Pie Crust Edge (PCE) on his Carnival Glass bowls, and was about the only one to use an embossed trademark. Unfortunately, the application of his trademark
was an inconsistent process, so much of Northwood's Glass does NOT have it. 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 Antique Condition
means that a
listed
item has no discernible post-production damage but may have one or more of the following issues related to the production methods and conditions in the early 1900s which, by today's standards were dirty and dangerous, and Quality Control did not exist:
air bubbles
not squeezed out by hand-pressing;
inclusions
of ash from the furnace or debris from dirty conditions;
strands
of undissolved metallic salts used as colorant; lines called
straw marks
where molten glass was snipped with cool metal shears from the gathering rod, hardened immediately and mixed into the glass like dried paint;
marks from shaping tools
used to form the edge or influence the shape;
mold issues
such as incomplete or malformed edges,
rough seams, extra glass at seams, webbed, incomplete or pulled edge points;
cooling issues
such as
uneven legs or a bowed base causing rocking;
heat checks
which are internal separations from uneven cooling or burst air bubbles, etc. While these issues may be undesirable in the extreme, they do not qualify as "damage" and will be found to some degree on nearly all Carnival Glass.
