Northwood carnival glass, 1908-1925
Nowhere is the genius of Harry Northwood more apparent than in the beautiful, iridescent glass that was produced between 1908 and 1925 by H. Northwood & Co. of Wheeling, West Virginia. Today, we call it carnival glass, and it has become one of the most eagerly sought and highly valued forms of collectible glassware in American history. In this, his fourth volume on the subject of carnival glass, author Carl O. Burns examines in detail the myriad of iridescent patterns, colors, and shapes produced by this giant of early twentieth century glassmaking. Included within the precise, easy-to-read format are almost 200 full-color photographs, complemented by reprints from early wholesale catalogs that give a unique insight into the production and marketing of this beautiful glassware. A full value guide for all known Northwood patterns, shapes, and colors is included. This is a "must have" source of invaluable information for both the carnival glass collector and dealer.
