Availability: 100 in stock
  • All returns accepted: ReturnsNotAccepted
  • Brand: Northwood
  • Object Type: ruffled bowl
  • Original/Reproduction: Antique Original
  • Production Style: Carnival
  • Condition: 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 hot foot being applied to 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 very good condition, but you're the experts. Do not buy this bowl if you're looking for a PERFECT/NEW BOWL.
  • Style: elegant
  • Color: transparent green irridized
  • Time Period Manufactured: Vintage (Pre-1940)

    Description

    Hi Collectors.  Please be patient with my trying to tell you about this bowl.  I'm not one of you, a Northwood
    collector, 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
