Northwood Louis XV (1)Here’s another piece of early custard glass made by Northwood.  I have seen it referred to as a sauce bowl or berry dish.  The pattern is the regal sounding Louis XV Pattern.

My handy dandy custard guide – The Encyclopedia of Victorian Colored Pattern Glass, Book 4: Custard Glass from A to Z by William Heacock – indicates that Northwood started producing this pattern in 1898.  It was also made in emerald green with gold.

The book has photos of a number of pieces including a pitcher, butter dish, sugar and creamer, etc.

Very fancy!

IMG_4776This piece was produced by Northwood in Wheeling, West Virginia in the early years of the twentieth century.

According to the Encyclopedia of Victorian Colored Pattern Glass, Book 4: Custard glass from A to Z by William Heacock:IMG_4778

“…sometimes stained with nutmeg brown, and sometimes simply trimmed in gold.  Some pieces have been found iridised with a pearl-like finish, causing word to spread that it was some form of rare “custard carnival”. ”

This piece has the nutmeg finish.  The colour varies depending on the light.  The first photo shows backlighting from sunshine.  The second photo is daytime room lighting and the last shows the effect of blacklight.

I always find it difficult to think of the age of pieces – over 100 years old – with no damage!

Coloured Glass, Marigold Glass, Rose Bowl

Northwood Bead and Twig (2)This pretty marigold piece has lots of neat detailing.  There is the scalloped edge, the rayed interior, the floral design on the exterior, beads on the exterior and little feet that look like twigs.

Both Carnival Heaven and David Doty’s Carnival Glass sites show photos of a number of samples.  Some of them are quite beautiful.

This little bowl is in great shape for having been made in the early years of the twentieth century.Northwood Bead and Twig (4)
