AS WE ALL KNOW...STUFF HAPPENS

This fabulous glass retains its beauty, and still has value (albeit diminished) as a collectible. It will make a great "place holder" in your collection until a better piece comes along, or a lovely decorative accessory for your home, sure to generate discussion.

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.
