Hi Collectors. Please be patient with my trying to tell you about this bowl. I'm not one of you, a Northwoodcollector, carnival glass collector. The photos will look like a circus
I'm sure, but I struggled to capture what to me looks like a "depression glass green bowl with subtle irridescence"
in my pictures. White backgrounds seemed to obliterate the irridescence, but darker backgrounds get too far
away from the transparent green look.
I saw in the Northwood book and internet info that the color names for the transparent green/iridized bowls
were lime green or ice green. I can't tell you for sure which this is, or if they're the same thing?
I tried to take a photo of the bowl next to a "normal depression glass green" plate to help you
for comparison's sake.
I will expand on the condition block (above) here:
It's a hard bowl to evaluate because of the relief inside. In going around the ruffled outer edge I find
2 tiny places about an inch apart from each other were my fingernail catches, so let's say 2 tiny flea
bites or chips. The bowl's foot is smooth, however if you hold it to the light and angle it around you
see one or two internal flakes/lines inside, might be from the hot blob foot being applied to bowl (or if
it wasn't applied but molded in maybe caused by manufacturing, or someone in its 90 year life tapped
it there too hard and caused a little internal chip, but it's not noticeable from the front and nothing you
see underneath unless looking for it. There are also a couple of lines on the foot circle similar to miscellaneous
lines here and there on the bowl. There may
be a couple tiny rough spots inside but I don't know if it was molded that way or may have gotten a
tiny damage? There are some little "dashy lines" above the flower pattern inside between there and
the outer edge. I think some people are calling them "stretch marks". I've seen other bowls that were
represented as mint where I could see these in the photos, so I'm assuming you all are used to them?
Just trying to be hypercritical. I think for the age bowl is in good condition, but you're the experts.
Do not buy this bowl if you're looking for a PERFECT/NEW BOWL.
I found one like this on the internet that sold for about 0. I could see the stretch lines/dashes on it,
and other imperfections too. This bowl is AS IS, and I hope someone will see the value in it for 0 less?
It displays nicely, but it might not qualify as a museum piece!
In some of the photos/close-ups I tried to show the degree of the dashy lines (straw marks or stretch marks?) that are on
this bowl so that no one would be upset when they get the bowl in person. When you first see the bowl
you're just looking at the overall image of luminous irridescent rays and deep pattern in the center. But if
you're holding it and staring at it you might wonder if it's a "factory 2nd" (unless you all are used to the lines).
The bowl has some dark specks, especially by the ruffled edge areas, probably from tools used on it? (see
photos...)
I have made a foam nest in a sturdy box for the bowl, and lined an outer box with styrofoam, so I am
confident it will make the journey, to wherever.
I usually ship within 1 day of receiving payment. If no payment by day 3 an unpaid item case will be opened.
Thanks for looking. GG=691
