1900's Northwood Dugan Blue Opalescent Inverted Fan & Feather 4.5" Rose Bowl

Description: Northwood Dugan Blue Opalescent Inverted Fan & Feather 4.5" Rose Bowl Current on line price guide is $250. I have tried to price accordingly. Whimsical cracked egg vase or rose bowl. Circa 1901-1908 - although this beautiful Inverted Fan & Feather pattern was originally produced by Northwood, production was continued by Thomas Dugan in Blue Opalescent. The vase is 4.5” (H), 3.5” (W) at the flared opalescent feathered rim and 4” (W) at the 4-Footed base. There is a chip to the raised design (pictured) and there is internal light scratches (pictured) which may have come from storing loose change or jewelry. There are no cracks, repairs or stains. There are bubbles, inclusions, and visible seams. Excellent Undamaged Antique Condition means that while a listed item has no post-production damage such as chips or cracks, it may have discernible minor wear from usage and/or nesting (stacking). This wear will be mentioned and/or highlighted with its own photo if over-moderate. IMO there are very few pieces of Carnival Glass that don't have an imperfection of some sort, whether from production or use, but that doesn't impact the presentation. Production conditions in the early 1900s were dirty and dangerous; there was no "Quality Control" as we know it now. Issues resultant from these conditions include:-Air bubbles in the glass that were not squeezed out during pressing.-Heat checks which are internal rifts filled with air (which is why you can see them), usually from a burst air bubble.-Inclusions in or on the surface of the glass, such as ash and cinders. Often found in the flames of vases and rims of bowls were it settled during pressing.-Strands of undissolved colorant (usually in green glass).-Straw marks which are lines in the glass caused by premature solidification where the molten glass was snipped from the gathering rod with cool metal shears when the mould was full; lines also formed on the surface during the cooling process.-Tool marks from implements used to form the edge or influence the shape.-Mold issues related to filling and release such as incomplete or malformed edges, rough seams, extra glass at seams; webbed, incomplete or pulled edge points.-Cooling issues such as uneven legs, slanted stems or a bowed base (causing rocking), surface lines and heat checks. ________________________________________________________Payment is due within 3 days of purchase Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.Thanks for looking and happy e-Baying!Discounted shipping on multiple items. ___________________________________________________________________________ MY FIVE STAR SERVICE PLEDGE TO ALL OF MY BUYERS:1.
