Thomas Dugan and his cousin, Harry C. Northwood, started out in the 1880s as employees at the Hobbs-Brockunier Glass firm in Wheeling, West Virginia. Eventually, Harry would form the Northwood Glass Company of Wheeling, West Virginia and Thomas would form the Dugan Glass Company of Indiana, Pennsylvania. Both companies were kingpins of the carnival and opalescent glass market in the early 1900's. Trading, swapping, or "borrowing" one another's glass moulds has been speculated. Both Northwood and Dugan-Diamond Glass shut down in the mid-1920s. Condition. This item is in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks, flea bites, or restorations. The saw tooth edge is perfect and flawless. The iridescence is rich and evenly applied. The iridescence is nothing short of spectacular, bright, shiny, and strong. There are, of course, the usual straw marks ("shearing tool marks") and internal air bubbles from manufacturing commonly associated with the making of old EAPG, carnival, and opalescent glass. Each and every piece of old carnival and opalescent glass is hand finished which means they are all unique. No two pieces of old carnival and opalescent glass are identical. ... Very Hard To Find! ... would look great alongside any Northwood, Dugan, Jefferson, Millersburg, Fenton, Westmoreland, Sowerby, Cambridge, Imperial, or other antique glass from the makers of fine opalescent, carnival glass, and EAPG. ... very, very, nice. {Photo taken indoors with no flash} Paypal Payment must be received within 3 days of auction or store close.
