Northwood Leaf and Beads Carnival Rose Bowl

Northwood Fruit and Leaf (2)Picked this up pretty rose bowl in a thrift shop in the U.S.  In fact, that is where most of my recent purchases came from.  It is marked with the Northwood ‘N’ in the centre, so it wasn’t too hard to identify.

I gather that this colour is fairly common and that this pattern was produced on a number of pieces and in a variety of colours.

The flower is a sunflower and while this piece has a sunflower interior, not all of them do.  There a good look at this piece at David Doty’s Carvical Glass Website.

Dish, Grape, Opalescent

009I’ve been wandering lately.  Value Villages and auction.  I’ve picked up a few things, mostly unidentified.  I have sold a few items on my Etsy shop, so I have a bit of space for new old items.

This is one of my purchases.  I haven’t been able to conclusively identify its provenance.  Ebay has a couple pieces with the same pattern and they are listed as Northwood’s Grape and Cable.015

I’m not entirely convinced as I haven’t seen an authoritative source replicate this information.

I don’t know if this is a dish or some other piece.  It’s too small for a compote.  But…it’s a pretty opalescent blue.  I couldn’t capture the 011 (2)‘right’ blue, but it’s very tropical looking.

Very pretty.

Northwood (?) Smooth Rays Compote

Carnival Glass, Compote

I bought this pretty piece online  It was advertised as Northwood Smooth Rays pattern.  The vendor said that it had Northwood’s “Alaskan” finish which gave it a particular shine.  Hard to capture in the photos.

It IS pretty, I love the dark green glass, but now that I have it I am not convinced it is Northwood.  It is not signed, nor does it have the Northwood “button”.  As well I can’t find the shape in Northwood’s or Fenton’s Smooth Ray pieces.

Of course I should have investigated more fully before I bought it, but it wasn’t expensive and now I have something more to investigate!
