Northwood Glass

About Vintage Northwood Glassware

Founded in 1896 by Harry Northwood in Indiana, PA, Northwood was a rival to Fenton in the manufacture of Carnival glass.
The company was innovative, releasing a number of successful patterns of iridescent glass, such as the popular grape and cable, and experimenting with splatter patterns and previously unseen colors. Though widely copied, Northwood pieces can be identified by a circled or underlined 'N'. The company went out of business in 1925, eight years after the founder's death.
