Classic Northwood Glass Northwood's GRAPE AND CABLE (Interior) BASKETWEAVE (Exterior) Nutmeg Stained Custard Glass Ruffled Bowl Approximate Dimensions: 7.25"(Diameter) 1.75" (High) 3,25" (Base Diameter) Made by Harry C. Northwood Glass Company Wheeling, West Virginia ca 1914 Source: Heacock, William, James Measell, and Berry Wiggins (1991), Harry Northwood: The Wheeling Years 1901-1925. Marietta, OH: Antique Publications, pp. 128-129. This is an antique (circa 1914) custard glass GRAPE AND CABLE (BASKETWEAVE exterior) ruffled bowl hand-stained with a "nutmeg stain" by the Harry C. Northwood Glass Company circa 1914. It is signed on the exterior center with the Northwood trademark "Underlined N In A Circle." Very Brief Background on Northwood & Dugan. Thomas Dugan and his cousin, Harry C. Northwood, started out in the 1880s as employees at the Hobbs-Brockunier Glass firm in Wheeling, West Virginia. Eventually, Harry would form the Northwood Glass Company of Wheeling, West Virginia and Thomas would form the Dugan Glass Company of Indiana, Pennsylvania. Both companies were kingpins of the custard, carnival and opalescent glass market in the early 1900's. Trading, swapping, or "borrowing" one another's glass moulds has been speculated. Both Northwood and Dugan-Diamond Glass shut down in the mid-1920s. Condition. This item is in very good/excellent condition with no chips, cracks, chiggers, or repairs. There are, of course, the usual straw marks ("shearing and crimping tool marks") and internal air bubbles from manufacturing commonly associated with the making of old EAPG, carnival, custard, and opalescent glass. The hand making, hand staining, and finishing of old glass assures that no two pieces are identical -- each piece is truly unique. ... would look great alongside any Northwood, Dugan, Jefferson, Millersburg, Fenton, Westmoreland, Sowerby, Inwald, Imperial, or other antique glass from the makers of fine opalescent, custard, carnival glass, and EAPG.
