VINTAGE NORTHWOOD CABLE AND GRAPE AMETHUST DISH 9"

Description: Harry Northwood (the eldest of ten children) was born in Stourbridge in 1860, to a family that lived and breathed glass! His father was the celebrated John Northwood, who was famed for his work in cameo glass, in particular his creation of a replica of the Portland Vase. Trained in art and well versed in glassmaking in England, Harry Northwood emigrated to the USA in 1881 where, after six years further experience in the glass industry, he established his first factory in Martin’s Ferry, Ohio. But it was at Northwood’s subsequent glassworks in Wheeling that his famous Carnival Glass was first issued in 1908.Harry Northwood was a master colourist, renowned for his fabulous aqua opals and mouth-watering pastel colours. Many of the patterns that emerged from Northwood’s glass works at Wheeling have become iconic – symbolic of the very essence of Carnival. The Peacocks and Rose Show patterns and the delightful Town Pump all epitomise the classic quality and top-notch design associated with Northwood. Grape and Cable is one of Northwood's very popular patterns, and the general feeling was that it was not introduced until 1910. However, we have discovered newspaper ads that prove it was in production earlier - in 1909 - and in fact was being promoted for the Christmas 1909 market.
