Description

Vtg Northwood Pink Iridescent Carnival Stretch Glass Rolled Edge Bowl 11.5".
Condition is "Used".
This is a beautiful rolled edge console bowl in a peachy pink color. The iridescence on it is strong in the center (looks green with the flash). Since it is a stretch glass bowl, it has a unique pattern of separation in the iridescence that almost looks like a snake skin pattern. I tried to take photos with various background colors, with the flash and without to attempt to demonstrate the true coloring on this bowl. There are two marks in the center of the bowl that appear to be impact marks? It is not chipped, but marks that should be noted nonetheless (they are in the last two photos). There are a few bubbles in the glass (original from when it was made) and a few scratches to the iridescence on the center of the bowl (from use). I did not note any chips to the edge or cracks in this piece.
Stretch glass
was introduced in the USA in about 1916, was very popular in the 1920s and continued to be
made
until the mid 1930s. The five American companies that produced the most stretch glass were the Diamond Glass-Ware Company, Fenton Art Glass Company, Imperial Glass Company, H. Northwood & Company, and the United States Glass Company. Stretch glass was either pressed or blown into a mold. No pieces were free-blown; they will not have a pontil mark. This glass was sprayed with metallic salts while hot and then reheated to achieve an iridescent effect.
Most items were then hand worked with paddles, crimpers or other tools to a desired shape. This hand working would stretch the iridescent surface of the glass and give a "cobweb," "crackled" or "onion skin" appearance to the surface that had been stretched. This piece does not have a maker's mark in the glass, but it most closely resembles other pieces of Northwood stretch glass.
NOTES:
RESCUE---RESELL---REPEAT
This item (and most of the items I list) are things I found while thrifting. They are lovely pieces that, although I don't have a place for in my 900 square foot house, I know someone else would appreciate and find beautiful. I do a lot of research to determine market value and list below that with some margin to cover my other costs (shipping supplies, gas, etc). My goal here is not to get rich, but to provide these items with a second life in a home where they will be treasured again. And (more importantly) keeping them out of the landfill. Since this is not a piece that was mine, I try very hard to make sure I photograph and document any flaws. I will always combine shipping if you are interested in more than one of my items. I am also happy to switch shipping to whatever service the buyer prefers. All listings are final sale.
