For sale is a beautiful Carnival Glass Swung Vase made by The Northwood Glass Company of Wheeling, West Virginia. The pattern is known as "Tree Trunk" and is a deep Purple. The Vase measures 7" tall at the tips of the ruffles and has a base diameter of 3 3/8". The opening at the rim of the vase measures approximately 4 7/8" wide outside rim measurement.
The Vase displays different sized and sporadically placed hobs with raised crescent lines in between to give a bark or tree trunk appearance. This vase has a nice wide flaring rim to accommodate a nice bouquet of flowers. The iridescence on this piece is spectacular as you can see vivid colors of Gold, Blue, Purple, Blue and Teal on the interior and exterior. I would almost call this Electric!!This was a very popular pattern of Northwood and was made in four different sizes in Carnival Glass which are squat, standard or mid size, funeral and elephant foot. It was also one of the few patterns done in Opalescent Glass as well. This is considered squat as it stands 7" at the tips.
The piece is in excellent condition as there are no cracks, chips, nicks or dings. The piece is signed on the bottom with Northwood's N Underlined in a circle mark. Here is your chance to own a wonderful piece of Art Glass that is 100 years old and made by one of the Great Master's In American Art Glass.
The Vase was made Circa 1911-1917.
