Custard
glass
is a creamy pale yellow opaque glass
(mostly pressed) made primarily in America, ca. 1895-1910.
The leading company was
Northwood.
The 5 pieces and approximate sizes are;
1. Lidded Butter Dish 7"H x 7 1/2"W Northwood in script on base
2. Jelly Compote 4 3/4"H x 4 1/2"W
3. Creamer 4 1/4"H x 5 1/2" W (handle to spout) x 3 1/2"W (side to side) Northwood in script on base
4. Lidded Sugar 6"H x 4 1/2" W
5. Spooner 4"H x 3 3/4" W Northwood in script on base. In Victorian times the frugal homemaker did not set a spoon at each placesetting. Rather the spoons were placed in a "spooner" and set on the table for use if needed.
The best and easiest test to assure a piece is genuine is the "fire" test. Virtually without exception every old piece of custard glass shows at least some fiery red opalescence when held to the light. I have attempted to show you this in the pictures.
