Northwood Carnival Glass – Grape and Cable Pin Dish

Carnival Glass, Nappy, Pin Dish, Whimsey

 

I have so much glass to be posted it isn’t funny.  I have had lots of good luck lately and while I haven’t found pieces that I intend to keep, I am pleased to find some new items.

This little dish is a case in point.  The photos do not do it justice as the colours are much more vibrant and richer than they appear here.

David Doty’s The Field Guide to Carnival Glass –  https://www.ddoty.com/grpcabtabledress.html – indicates that this piece was part of a dresser set.   If you love these pieces have a look at his photos.  Simply beautiful examples of this pattern.  This piece is the pin dish a/k/a nappy whimsey or nappy and was made from a punch cup.

I can honestly say that I would never have guessed that ladies had dishes specific for pins!  But I guess that women of the era had hat pins, and maybe even pins for their hair.

This butter dish was manufactured by the H. Northwood Company of Wheeling, West Virginia prior to 1924. The pattern, no. 21, was introduced in 1907.

It is a pretty marigold with hints of pink, blue and yellow.

For more information, and other examples of this pattern, check out David Doty’s Carnival Glass Website.

 

Signed Northwood Glass Argonaut Shell Creamer

Argonaut Shell, Creamer, Custard Glass, Nautilus, Northwood, Tumbler

 

Well I was wrong.   I DID pick up additional pieces in this pattern –  little tumblers. I went into the same store – Harvest Antiques – where I had purchased the creamer and there they were. The tumblers have the same sprig of seaweed and the ‘shell’ details but they do not have any gilt.  I don’t think the gilt was worn or washed away.  I don’t think they had any.

I bought five tumblers.  It is amazing, but they are as fresh and clean and undamaged as they were the day they were made.  Someone must have loved these pieces and taken good care of them.

The tumblers are not signed or marked.

AnotheNorthwood Argonaut (1)r oldie but goldie piece of custard glass.  This  pressed creamer was produced by Northwood in the early years of the twentieth century. This is the Argonaut Shell pattern, which I gather was also called Nautilus by some.

This is a very large creamer – this piece stands 4 /2 inches at the spout, is 3 inches wide at the widest point and is 6 inches from spout to handle edge. It definitely could be used as a gravy boat.

The Encyclopedia of Victorian Colored Pattern Glass, Book 4: Custard Glass from A to Z by William Heacock has a page devoted to this pattern.  There were quite a number of different pieces produced.  According to Mr. Heacock, the line was also produced in opalescent colours and carnival novelties.

David Doty’s site – shows pieces in carnival colours.  He indicates that they were made by Dugan after Northwood’s molds were transferred.  Some still have the Northwood signature (as does this piece).

The cruet stopper (shown in the book) looks very interesting – it has been formed to resemble a seashell.  While the details of the seashells and seaweed are likely unique, this piece doesn’t really ‘speak’ to me and I likely won’t pick up any other pieces.
