NORTHWOOD ANTIQUE Blue/Cobalt Carnival Glass Beaded Cable 3 Toed Bowl W/LOGO
Item History & Price
For your consideration, and for the discriminating antique collector, this superb dark blue Northwood glass masterpiece with the beaded cable appearance.The outside has a muted beauty with a shiny iridescence, the inside is a glowing masterpiece with almost all of its original iridescence intact. This piecehas the Northwood logo on the inside bottom, the "N" with it underlined in a circle - which is ...very distinct and readable.
Very good vintage condition, considering it is over 100 years old, made sometime from 1908 to 1915.
The Northwood plant ceased production in year 1925, after the death of its owner (read below history).
There is a slight dustiness/smudging/wearing in all the crinkles within the folds on the top.See photos 5 & 6. There are some very slight areas around the top where there is some wearing, but overall a gorgeous item that has retained almost all of the iridescent look. The inside is lovely with all of its original iridescent beauty. It is very difficult to find a Northwood of this exceptional beauty in such wonderful shape. On the inside there is a line or scratch, there is a "V" shaped line or scratch. Or, this may be due to the manufacturing process - see photos.
This is the only one I have, and true collectors know how seldom these true antiques are sold, since most are being held by collectors.
